Both Tom's,

Of course you know that I know it isn't right. The Chevy II's were one of the first cars "kinda" factored way back in the early eighties when they set the index for SS/LA at 11.75. That was done because at the time the Nova's were somewhat dominant I guess. But it wasn't fair to get the lower index and then get factored hard too.

But ya gotta remember, we were all at 235 HP at one time. That's why we built the Olds. There was no way we could keep up with the 307's back then at 3460 lbs.. Now, even though the Olds is fast, at 217 HP I'm pretty sure the 4-door will run right with it..
