Evan said: "If Bruce's 350 (leaf-spring Camaro) and a Corvette are counted together with totally dissimilar engine setback and suspension, how could they not count the Cuda/Challenger and the B-body with similar engine/trans layout?"

This is probably what happens when someone comes on here and calls the guy in charge of the AHFS, "The Boobster" . Who says there's no human element involved in the AHFS?

It does take some human element to get similar body styles at the same rating.
My Olds Omega (350 Buick) combo got lumped in with Bert Morgan's 4400 lbs Regal wagon hp hit
It took me 6 mos. to get it straightened out ,with help from Len.
Meanwhile, the 72 Chevy 350 /4bbl had 5 different ratings on the same motor.
It's got to be all body styles, ....or individual combos that get hit. Not in between .
That'll take someone who knows what he's doing.
