As for continuing to have insane amounts of power like we did this year? I sure hope it continues, but I certainly wouldn't take this much raw power for granted. It obviously depends on the game, but I'd bet on 4 CIMs and 2 Mini-CIMs for next year.
I know a few teams who made a single-speed 6-CIM drivetrain and never had any problems that I've seen (one that comes directly to mind is 973).
