Stage1scott to further clarify the classification, to run the Buick in g/sa the min. weight with driver would be 3800lbs. Multiply 11 (G factor) by 330 (rated HP) and add 170 for driver. I have a 71 GS that I ran in G/SA and I had to add weight to achieve 3800. When I ran it in F/SA a few years back I could just barely get it to mimimun weight and that was when the HP rating was at 335(I think it came down in 2002). This past year I ran SS/LA with the stocker motor and my min weight was 3875 and I had about 240 lbs of extra weight added to make the min weight. Hope this helps some.
