5.7 Hemi, 300 HP. 12HP gift in SS & Stock I guess. I may be missing something but that's what was added to the guide.

Holy smokes, that is a street motor spec! I always have thought that this is what the guide needed, street cars gents.......3600lbs......The guys at Mopar didn't have the staff.

I think the first person to thank for this is Mr. Teuton!

Thank You Jeff and the NHRA tech!

I am not bitching we race the cars we like, I was just stirring the pot a little. The hard top chevy IIs with the current hp rating of 236 with a auto and current weight per hp is 11.99 that makes it a j car with a min weight of 2765 and if you can get a chevy II down to that you would be cheating too. In GT the hp on the 283s is 233. Tom

Both Tom's,

Of course you know that I know it isn't right. The Chevy II's were one of the first cars "kinda" factored way back in the early eighties when they set the index for SS/LA at 11.75. That was done because at the time the Nova's were somewhat dominant I guess. But it wasn't fair to get the lower index and then get factored hard too.

But ya gotta remember, we were all at 235 HP at one time. That's why we built the Olds. There was no way we could keep up with the 307's back then at 3460 lbs.. Now, even though the Olds is fast, at 217 HP I'm pretty sure the 4-door will run right with it..

Would this adjustment also apply to a '72 or '73 Volare?
