If you look at the stock qualifying list there is quite a bit of diversity if that even matters. How many Q jet combos a second under"?

Just a quick scroll through the 80 showing a qualifying run of a second under, looks like about 6 have a jets? Now I could have missed a few, but where did you come to your conclusion? Sure there are some fast Q jet combos, but certainly that doesn’t add up to qjets ruling over Indy stock class.

There are also several very high qualifying lower class cars on the Q sheet as well so I would say thst lower class cars don’t all need help.

The FS cars are whacky, but there are plenty of upgrades thst are legal now for lower class cars. Especially when you consider corporate rear ends, etc. if you want a big carb with a small carb factor, I don’t see that happening
