I just saw that the 4.0 blower 327 COPO's has had the HP rating changed due to faster times. Is the adjustment nowhere close to where it needs to be? (I'm guessing not after reading the other posts here?)

Is there a place that has Class racing info for the Newbie? The info I have found is awful.
They are supposed to be grouped with cars at similar ratings, usually. Take the 5.7 liter Hemi DP. Started out at 305 hp, in F/SA, June 2010. It got an adjustment the first race out. A year later it was 404. Now, it's 417 or something, runs BB and CC, and can STILL qualify near the top. Some of the new cars are close to what many would consider a fair rating. Others...not as close.
