While it's certainly not dead accurate, it is felt that for IT, that stock hp actually reflects those variables, and is a better place to start.
I understand that Jake. My point is that there may be more than one way to get to the correct answer. If in the end the ITAC and CRB can come together on something that gets us close to the actual power a car makes in IT trim we can use the process to set the weights fairly. The CRB may be stuck on displacement and a few other factors. The ITAC wants to use stock HP X 25% in most cases. With either method there are cars that will not fit.

When this happens the ITAC assigns a different percentage after doing some research. The CRB says "we know this car makes X" and assigns a weight. Somewhere there is a middle ground we can work towards in a productive manner.
