Default Re: Next Debate.

The only cure in my opinion is to follow OEM technical guidelines for boost pressure and NHRA follows it with mandatory pop-off valves calibrated and sealed by NHRA tech. If the OEM can't or won't provide the boost pressures, then they don't race. Turbo or SC engines should not be placed in a separate class as these are in fact what Detroit produces for todays market. But I also know that there is a range of acceptable boost pressures designed into these engines so they can be built to survive through warranty.
I know when I raced my '87 Shelby Z Daytona in A/FS there was an OEM boost standard for standard turbo-charged 2.2L Daytona's and another boost standard for the hi-po Shelby engine.
SCCA went to the SCCA provided calibrated & sealed pop-off valves back the early 90's when the Chrysler Turbo FWD cars began dominating the circuit. Once the boost levels were kept in bay, the dominance ceased.
