Messing with the engines won't do anything. They will always find a way to overcome the modifications. The real answer is to change the rear end ratios and make it mandatory for everyone to run the same gears. When you're in danger of spinning one of these pushrod V-8s to 12,000 RPM, you will slow down or detonated the hardware. Another easy fix is to reduce the tire footprint. Nascar could do either one of these changes tomorrow and it wouldn't cost a nickle. Letting them run flat out like the "old days" makes cars fly. Never a good thing!
