I believe that CIC is as screwed up as AHFS. The triggering system is wrong for racing. We must be able as Jack says to predict the potential of the original engine.

This can be done by comparing how racers do with it. If several guys build an engine it should follow a typical bell curve, and that should fall within the limits of other engines. All the highs and the lows will be present, most racer will fall in the average. It will fall in a normal distribution of events. A simple bell curve just like we studied in high school.

If your bell curve is shifted 2 or 3 tenths faster than the average bell curve, your engine HP deserve to be hit. (and not 4HP where it takes 70 years to catch up) It could be because the original HP is rated low, it could be because of a bogus part addition, but it is inescapably skewed.

In a nutshell this prevents the AHFS from focusing on stellar performances by individuals or cheating There will always be fast and slow cars in every combo. Of course we must correct all runs.
