It's posted in the Stock Car Classification Guide, in the competition section on the NHRA site.

The new HP ratings and factors are hi-lighted in yellow.

Amazing how many times this same question pops up and a racer patiently responds...all racers should bookmark it and be done with it.

The 'summary' will be posted on the Lucas Oil page whenever Glendora gets around to but it's usually by the end of July anyway (for mid year adjustments). Meanwhile use the guides; if like me you always check your own combo and then the respective guides for Ford and Dodge to see if the CJ and DP's got hit and then for fun read all the "ouch" and "about time" threads that quickly follow thereafter. Course, anybody triggering instant HP is always good for some entertaining threads (unless it's your combo of course!).

Has a 5.7 or 6.1 combo ever went to the barn? Our 5.7 would have been DQ'd right out of the box. Yes, the 5.7 was factored at 305 hp (which is a joke) , but how can hp be added to an engine if it didn't make a trip to the barn?

The truth is, on order to add HP to a combination because of a run, the car that made the run should have to go through the same inspection as it takes to set a record.

Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha !!!!!!!!! Yeah right.....happens all the time like with the Street Hemis.

Re: Ouch my car just got 9 HP!
 

Sounds like history is repeating itself with the Gen III Hemi's.

Re: Ouch my car just got 9 HP!
 

They ain't the lone ranger. It happens to plenty of combinations. It's not a requirement that an "instant HP" pass yields a teardown. It's the exception, rather than the rule.

Re: Ouch my car just got 9 HP!
 

Somebody is not paying attention if the 66 Chevelle with the 283 and a powerglide got 3 hp taken off. [Nothing personal Wade.] At least they took 9 off the 69 Chevelle with the 396 iron head motor. That combination should have never been hit when the Camaro was. As far as the 6.1 Dodge it's now only about 30 short. At 430 it would still be a fast car.

Re: Ouch my car just got 9 HP!
 

Just hopefull wishing for a teardown and a DQ, cause as I stated earlier, our 5.7 was illegal right out of the box. Illegal combustion chambers, pistons, deck heights and a few other goodies. Things that make you go Hmmmm.

Re: Ouch my car just got 9 HP!
 

What really sucks is when someone converts their car from an automatic to a stick, because the HP is rated alot less, and gets that combo instant HP by showing how fast they can go after others have protected it for years!
