Remember the early days of the turbos, Renault and BMW were building an engine just for qualifying that went in the bin after the session was over.
I agree with Richard, you cannot use tech regs to try and get budget equality, you could make F1 a soap box and 4 pram wheels and a works team would use an unobtanium super grease at £1m per squirt, per wheel that made the wheels turn faster....
