Like Doug said, many, mostly "lower class" Stockers, do not , and can not , benefit from many of the "enhancements" that NHRA has been doling out to certain combinations in recent years. For many of the lower HP cars, there are no approved aluminum aftermarket cylinder heads, intake manifolds, carbs, etc available for their combinations. Not to mention that some people, actually like working within the limitations of the "crappy" components that their combination left the factory with. Certainly the enhancements have helped many racers, but not all, so it seems unfair that all the indexes should be reduced, when not all were gifted with "special" parts to improve their performance potential.
