Don't see any 305 190/240hp 88-92 F bodies in nitro Joe's stats from last year. A few 87's.

The 1987 305 190/240hp you see from last year were Z28s now the guide for some strange reason shows the same engine combo in a Coup/LT Camaro, which it never came in a Coup/LT was only offered in a Z28. Plus the 1987 305 190/240hp should have received the same HP hit as the 1988-1992. The 1987 Z28 no longer shows it had this engine in the classification guide. The Classification Guide is becoming a joke!

Didn't the B4C package get the Z28 powertrain?

As the result of runs under the Automatic Horsepower Factoring System (AHFS) 1.20-second under policy at the NHRA Division 2 event, the following changes have been made.

The horsepower rating for 88-92 GM Camaro/Firebird, entries with the 305 cubic inch engine and a factory rating of 190-210 currently rated at 240, have been increased by fifteen horsepower, to 255 horsepower; for Super Stock Eliminator.
NHRA's 2020 Automatic Horsepower Factoring System outlines that any run of 1.20-seconds or more under the index will receive an immediate index decrease or horsepower increase. These changes are effective Oct. 20, 2020.

Yes the B4C police package was a Z28 without the Z28 emblems, 1992 and up all had 350 power plants, except the 1991s had a 230hp stick LB9. The B4C was never put into the classification guide, my guess would be because they were never offered to the public. If the B4C was in the classification guide I guess you would have to have blue lights on the car lol.

I stand corrected, the 1987 Z28 305 190hp has the same head casting number as the 1988 thru 1992 Z28s, but the 1987 head is 1cc bigger in the combustion chamber than the others per the guide.
