The reg NHRA SS hp is at 236 in a nova HT auto which puts into natural SS/JA at 11.99 weight per hp,but if you badge it as a SS option its weight per hp becomes 12.06 or a natural SS/KA. Remember you can move up or down a class from its natural class by changing weight 236 lbs in this case. Min weight for J 2770, 3000 K, and if a Super Sport 3240 for L. SS/GT would be a better option with a 233 hp rating, You could run GT/LA which is a 13.5 hp class GT/KA a 13lb class GT/JA is 12.5 and GT/IA at 12lbs. Just take the class weight times 233 plus 170 lbs for the driver and round off for your min weight. IHRA is 230 hp. Most run a step header 1 5/8 1 3/4 1 7/8. The 6.20 gear will work along with 9" stocker tires on 10" rims it will turn 9000 plus in the lites. Tom
