Science? The crew chief adjusts the car to the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere - measured in grains! And that's just one parameter. Track temp, air temp, wind, track adhesion, the list is long and varied, and all of the adjustments affect the other adjustments....
There is more horsepower BY FAR on tap than the track can ever take. The crew chief on one of these monsters has to be incredibly smart and creative to be successful and is at least as important as the driver.
