I agree, factor the motors somewhere close to correct and that will take care of the "enhancements" of recent years. It dosen't really matter where the index is. If the baddest hotrod there goes 6 under then it is in the #1 spot. Same difference. You aren't curing any problem, you are just shuffling numbers around.

NEVER take hard work and testing out of the game. That is what makes this fun. But don't screw with the #1 spot on the sheet when you are 30-50 hp soft based on previous performance and think that is an indicator of what an index should be. Its not hard to see what is wrong when the et vs. mph dosen't add up.

Indexes are definitely softer but in my case the same combo I was running then has been factored until it is running 3 classes faster (lower) by todays index numbers.
