Same with the Camaro / Nova or Chevelle, Mustang / Fairlane, etc.
If one platform seems to be more effective in Stock, it just proves the right person hasn't been applied to the other platform in my opinion.

but still we have to see an B-Body hemi to run as Henson did with the Challenger with even 20 hp reduction... remember when mr Lynch very rapidly brought the 402 Nova upp to 405(or was it more) and the Camaro stayed at 390..I questioned that and a Camaro owner said the "hood clearence" was not enough on the camaro(that was the body specific argument from him)..think i said something about that they weren't using the original manifold anyway anymore so the clearence thing was thier own choise..or something...well the Nova came back down to 395 pretty fast after Lynch stopped beating it...dont know how that worked...dont know how that part is outlined in the AHFS...think people and judgement are involved.. The AHFS killed the possibility for People to see HEMI Cuda's and Challenger in stock..now it looks that the 6-pak B-Bodys are going that same way but Shelby's and other are working the system...all because the non-involvement of skilled people..
