Another dummy question. Why do stick GT cars sometimes get less hp than auto GT cars, when using the exact same engine ?

Is this a common NHRA practice ?

I'll use the popular Stocker '77 400 engine as an example. This page shows 5hp less for stick GT cars, than auto GT cars.

While mentioning stick cars. Does anybody know of any Pontiac V8 powered stick GT cars, either current or former ?
