Lowering the indexes across the board does absolutely nothing. It changes the numeric values is all that does. A soft combo is still a soft combo but instead of it being a -1.30+ capable car it becomes a -1.00 second car as number 1 Qualifier at Indy let's say.
That is why NHRA uses the AHFS which is flawed obviously but has it's merits. It's the manipulation of it that makes it ineffective.
Lowering the indexes across the board just puts the number at a different value across the same board.
It's like cutting a foot off the top of your blanket and sewing it on the bottom and thinking you shortened your blanket.
