Thomas brings up a good point. If we show that restrictors of the same size can effectivley manage equal peak HP for all engines the role that the electronics plays will have less impact on peak performance. Sure there may be some mid range electronics advantages but we will also see differences with mid range performance between different engine, header and air box configurations also. The bottom line is regulating peak HP. Freeing up the electronics rules will allow more engine brands to come online and allow for those that like to tinker with engine development to do so which might draw more interest to the class.
I think we should seriously start exploring the equal IIR program. If we publish (here on Apexspeed) the testing results from the dyno runs to mitigate false accusations or claims the group could collectively make a sound popular decision. Until then we are just speculating what we think might be best for the class. Let's get a program manager and a number of people together for stewardship and develop a clean engine regulation for the class.
