Anyone have an explanation for that? I thought all vehicles of the same platform with the same engines were rated the same. All other camaro/firebird combos are factored the same whether in a camaro or firebird throughout the entire guide. Uncle Jeff what's the scoop? I know you know...lol
The '77-'79 350s are all the same specs and they should be all the same power factor regardless of model or body style. NHRA should be factoring engines based on the potential performance, not people who can make them go fast.
