The 350 went from 275 NHRA hp in 1993 to 346 hp in April 2010. hmmmm 17 yrs.
The 350 went from 285 NHRA hp in 1997 to 346 hp in January 2010. hummm 13 yrs.
The 346 went from 305 NHRA hp in 2001 to 373 hp in January 2010. hummm 9 yrs.

The 6.1 hemi went from 385 NHRA hp in 2009 to 399 hp in July of 2010. These cars have only been raced over the last 2 years.

The 5.7 hemi went from 305 NHRA hp in 2009 to 326 hp in September of 2010. This combo has only been raced for less than a year.

The 360 went from 275 NHRA hp in 2009 to 284 hp in September of 2010. This combo has only been raced this year.

Looks like the new combo still has a few years to go to be equal with their counter part as far as getting to their 'real hp' ...

Just sayin ...

And the Cobra Jet is closing in on 3 years. Someone had pointed out that the LT1 were mixed in with the traditional classes for the first 3 years. Also note that this was a fairly new situation for the NHRA having such a disparity on the advertised horsepower and what the cars were capable of with the normal racer modifications (headers, cams, etc...).

A brand new category was created to deal with this problem, the Fuel Injected classes. Your post that suggests they took from 1993 to April of 2010 to get it right is misleading. They were in their own classes for the vast majority of the time until it got sorted out. Just like what we are asking for with the Cobra Jets and Drag Paks.

Just sayin'.
