More NHRA horsepower factors

What makes the least sense about that 1978 firebird 350 combo is that it has the same specs as a 1977 camaro 350 that's only rated at 269 but the firebird is 283 and was originally moved to 269 but now back to 283. 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
