33hp difference for body style? Yet 68-69 Chevelle still gets adjusted the same as Camaro and Chevy II? Gee, thanks....

The general consensus among people I know is the Chevelle is at least .05 or more slower just in the body size, wheelbase, suspension, etc.
Just need to work harder or spend more money I guess?

Mark, you are right on... I've been trying to tell the guys at NHRA exactly this for 2 years but they don't hear me. You can work harder and spend more money, I have (LOL) but at the end of it all you'll still be down that same .05. I can't tell you how many people have told me no matter how good I get my car working it's not going to run with the Camaro's. Your point is exactly why!
