Now, can you say honestly, with a straight face and self dignity, that other non-new car combinations are factored fairly and accurately?

Nope, Nick, l'll have to say some combos are off by a few and can be considered not accurate.
I will however state, those differences are very minor compared to, say the ford 352 CJ and the Drag pack 360 and very few people were screaming over the minor discrepancies left in the 'old combos'. In fact the only one that comes to mind to me is the 235 HP 305, and even that is mere chump change compared to the rating atrocities of some of the new combinations.
Lets take the two of the new combos I am familiar with:
I believe your 352 has 11.25 compression, 2.08/1.6 valves, a throttle body with (4) 1.75" holes (thats 1,000 cfm for those who dont realize it) and its rated a whopping 285 HP.
The drag pak is similar at 11.4 compression, 2.02/1.6 valves, and the same awesome 1,000 cfm throttle body, and rated an earth shattering 275 HP.
Now I'll state again, all I ever wanted was to see these combinations properly factored, and didnt see the need for all new classes. But since for whatever reason, these combos where not ever going to be factored, they chose to make new classes. Not ideal, but something had to be done, because it was way WAY out of line.
