Afew years back I ran a 82 Monte Carlo in U with a 267/ It was factory rated at 115 hp, but Nhra saw fit to bump hp to150 without even seeing what could be done with it.Stated out with15.0 and eventually got it to run fairly consistent 14.40's and 50's. Best I ever ran was 14.20 @90 in killer air at No Problem. This was not a money is no object car but had good parts in car and engine.I felt that hp on engine was too high and that it should have been around 135 or 140 at start , then s ee how it turns out.Sure enjoyed running car and if things played out right would like to run it again but there's no way I feel like it's a 1.30 or higher car.
