The shipping weight never changes; it is what it is. If the shipping weight is 3,369 pounds, you will always use that number; divided by the HP (with OEM head) of the motor desired. You then add the hp penalty weight after. If a car falls into, say, GT/EA. 10 pound class. If an aftermarket head is permitted, with a 5 hp penalty, the aftermarket head version weighs 50 pounds more than a car with the same motor and an OEM head.

If I am wrong, someone can correct me, but I believe that is the way it works.
So:

Weight: 3369
Stock: 302/220
SS w/replacment heads: 302/230
HP added: 10

3369/220 = 15.31 GT/MA

If this is right and M is the last class, where does the extra 100 lbs for the HP hit go? does my car need to weigh 3469?

EDIT: Now that I have them working right, I ran my build through Dwight's Tools and came up with GT/KA through GT/MA depending on weight up or down. That makes more sense to me than trying to decipher the fine points of the rule book's English.

So....never mind....
