Don't go breaking your arm patting yourself on the back there David! Because the only thing I notice is stupidity when some no driving **** triggers a review just to thump his chest!

An actual stock LT1 makes nowhere the NHRA Stock Eliminator HP rating. There is a LOT of work in those heads that is passing tech. Plus, it is a very efficient car. Light, aero-slick with a lot of natural engine set back. If it was rated at what a factory stock LT1 actually makes they would be even more dangerous.

Can anyone shed some light on why the exact same motor, 1966 275HP 327 Chevy, should be rated differently in the three body styles (Nova, Chevelle and Full-size) it was originally available in? I can understand that there might have been a difference from the factory, but are people building these motors differently depending on which vehicle they are putting them in?

Thanks!

that was my point Ed........the NHRA Super Stock LT1 horsepower rating is nowhere close to the NHRA STOCK hp rating........what is the problem ??? Super Stock horsepower should be raised to at least match NHRA STOCK rating----does that not make sense ????

Boys, when you build a motor for GT you gotta know there are a lot of people out there who are gonna get it hit. Think about the guys that can buy a new motor any time they want to. Especially if it's a Chevy.

Charlie Bob, there would be more room for improvement if it wasn't basically a super stock motor already. Couldn't resist.
