I believe Wayne has started the first part of a good thing in going to a standard flat top piston stock or aftermarket which is easy to tech in this division. The next step to even equal it up even more is to have a standard compression ratio rule of 11:1 for all engines that would allow the methanol to burn efficiently. There is a tool that can check this by simply removing the spark plug and placing cylinder at top dead center which is also very quick to do. Remember all this is in the evolving stages and this is happening to lower the cost of engines and to have them run longer thus lowering the budget it takes to maintain an engine and to have everyone on a level playing field. Put the race back into the racer instead of cubic dollars. Another area that would help is to limit the size of injectors to a spec which again is easy to tech, the ones that are larger than the spec would run a restrictor which is easy to tech. It may end up one brand of an engine to another may require or be allowed to run a different size injector to equal them up more due to the stock ports and air flow. It's a balancing act, you need certain spec criteria's that control the cost while keeping things even between all brands of engines but yet is easy to tech so know one has to disassemble their engine to verify their legal. The ground work has been laid just may need a little refining.
