Actually, that's a bad idea. Why? Because NHRA does not consider the current local weather conditions at factored tracks, and adjust the factored index accordingly. I've seen days where the actual conditions at Denver, a factored track, were 1500' better than Bristol, an non factored track. A track that is factored at 3000' could see local current weather that was actually closer to 1900'. Since they don't adjust the factored indexes to account for that, it'd be ludicrous put HP on a car for running 1.25 under the factored index. If a car were to run 1.250 under the sea level index, then of course, it needs HP. But it already works that way now.

B/SA, sea level Index 11.55 (old index). You run 10.150 or quicker (more than -1.400), you get HP. B/SA Boise Index, 11.93 (old Index). You can run 10.151, which is -1.779, but results in NO HP, because the car didn't run -1.40 under the 'sea level' Index. If the factors are indeed not a little suspicious, then a B/SA that runs quicker than 10.430 (more than -1.40 under that particular adjusted Index) at Boise should receive HP. Am I missing something?
