Running overweight is an additional problem of engines being under-factored.

It's always been difficult to understand why NHRA tech doesn't take this into consideration when re-factoring a combo. After all, they record weights every time the car goes over the scales, so why isn't this included in the re-factoring?

This is another reason why engine combinations, especially new ones should be properly appraised for the correct HP factor before being approved for use.

The current factors for a couple of these combos are out by approximately 30hp!
