Toby.. thank you ..Kevin thanks for keeping us updated

Well, this is probably a subject for another day (and most certainly a separate thread) but I think the honest answer to that question is yes. Back in the days before the AHFS and the CIC in Comp, index and horsepower adjustments were completely arbitrary and it's fairly well documented that some combinations (read: manufacturers) seemed to traditionally fare better than others.
