Default Klingons/Romulans Research Score

I have been using God Emperor's latest Klingon and Romulan mod (both shipsets and AI) in conjunction with the latest Version of Mephisto's Modpack. Everything was working well together, but then I noticed something peculiar. I had been observing the score of the various races when I realized the the research level of the klingons (and to a lesser degree the Romulans) was absolutely rocketing. I was generally ahead of the pack in tech at turn 120 of the game, producing around 45k of research and having a tech level of around 80, while the majority of races were sitting between a 40 and 60 tech level approximately. This made sense because I was devoting more resources to research than most others. The Klingons, however had an insane tech level of around 140. They were not, moreover, producing more than 15k of research, about a third of my output.

My question is how are they doing it? How did they almost double my tech level (tripling most others) while at the same time producing about one third the research? Stranger still is that when I examine their designs I see no evidence of these atronomical advances. Is the design of their respective AI's giving them some kind of advantage beyond sound strategy? Is the score incorrectly reflecting their tech level?

In every other way the mods are fabulous, improving the challenge offered by the game twofold, thanks to God Emperor, Mephisto and many others. Final thanks go out to Tampa Gamer who's revamped sounds add tremendously to the gaming experience.
