Greg that is a great example. When the AHFS were using body specific only the problem started. In a Mirada the 360 is 270Hp in an Aspen it is 289Hp common sense would tell you the horsepower potential should be 289Hp in both cars. The same thing happened to the 305 dish piston motor, in a Malibu there 230Hp in a Camaro there 249Hp. I've been looking through the guide on the NHRA web site and it looks like the L-48 Chevy is rated at 283Hp in all body styles 73-81 how does that make sense by looking at my examples above. Something is broken and needs to be fixed.
