Horsepowers

The Chevy guys told NHRA what the Horsepower Ratings should be. They are correcting the errors NHRA made while driving the Ford Courtsey Cars around Glendora.

The 2014/2015 COPO 427/430 is rated at 465hp.

The 396 Chev and the 392 Mopar are about the same. We just didn't get to earn our way to 430, we just got it. The Bow Tie started life @ 390 and is now 429 I think, and we birthed at 400 and rebirthed at 430. None made as of yet.

Under Stock eliminator no changes is listed:
Mopar 340 240 299 1972 Barracuda

Yet they show a increase to the same combo. The increase is for you only Jim!!!
