I'm still trying to understand why HP ratings are a problem, since they have always been grossly underrated since at least the early to mid-sixties and the NHRA has the AHFS in place to balance out the playing field.

Pretty sure after 50 years NHRA know what the early engines are capable of, maybe not so with the new ones yet and the AHFS only works at 1320 ft not 1000.
