Sensible solutions would have been lowering overdrives ratio on blowers, less % of Nitro down to 50% (Geez, today that would save a BUNCH of $ in Nitro costs, believe a barrel of Nitro is over $1000 now!) Numerically lower rear gear rat1os, and others to lower speeds and raise ET! A 50 MPH reduction is just as exciting to the public, once they get used to it!
It was OK 25 years ago, why not now? I would be more worried about the GOVERNMENT sticking their nose into OUR business! Look what they did with smoking and Transfat!
Just a thought!
