Anybody know the real story on this one???

Wrong class I believe. It was a natural B car and couldn't get into AA.

Same thing happened to Luke Bogacki in Mn. a few years ago. I think it was a '70 402 Nova.

And when he showed up for the Reynolds GA D2 race he was promptly asked to remove a head....think he quit Stock shortly thereafter, which is too bad but just goes to show NHRA took tech a bit more seriously “back in the day”.

Believe it is a 66 Coronet hemi. 8.60 lbs/hp factor @425hp...natural B car. With the aluminum head 430hp rating the shipping weight to hp factor is 8.49 and would be a natural A combo. Just saying it can be confusing.

Actually. Luke filled out his tech card incorrectly...I believe he claimed the wrong year...Not quite sure the punishment fit the crime...Luke is one of the GOOD GUYs.....

No, that's not the way it works. If you run the aluminum head, you have to carry the extra weight but you still run the same natural class.

I know that. What I said is it can get confusing. I can understand how it could happen.

If you have a 67 GT500 you better have the correct info from the engine builder

Did I read the guide right?10 different hp rating depending on the parts you have installed, and one replacement head adds 37hp,close to the stock head in performance??
Who let Stock become the joke it is today?
