Terry, if you cut the blower speed way back, they only have to buy pulleys, not blowers. If you cut blower size, then you have to keep cutting speed.

If you cut compression, 50 cubic inches will be enough. If you don't cut compression, 100 cubic inches won't be enough.

If you make the changes easier and less expensive, it gives the teams a greater incentive to not just accept the changes, but to embrace them.

If you let them keep the same blower size, they don't need entirely new blowers, that keeps the cost down. It's a lot cheaper and easier to control it with pulleys. The most it requires then is belts and pulleys, as opposed to entirely new blower cases and manifolds.

If you take 50 cubic inches and compression ratio away, you can just change pistons and crankshafts, those are expendable anyway. Just take a 1/2" of stroke, and cut the compression ratio. Considering how much nitro loves stroke and compression, that will kill a lot of power.

They'd be better off not to cut mags, it'll help keep them lit, they hydraulic and explode when they're not lit. When you take displacement, compression, and blower speed, they'll slow down the fuel pumps themselves.
