No, I was poking fun at myself. I'm a stocker guy wannabee. I posted that info on FaceBooger. I guess no one has run the 1969 273 combo as it's at the factory rating. NHRA should rate it the same or near the 1967 rating. Chrysler went to a hydraulic cam in 1968-9, I think the specs are close to the earlier mechanical cams.

The 273-4bbl combo has different pistons (10.5:1 or so) than the 2bbl version. I was looking at building a 273 Dart for stock. It became apparent that my engine guy is a Full-Tilt Boogie Motor kind of guy and I couldn't see pouring that much money into a 273. I bought two of the LD4B intakes to have them taken away. They should have not approved them in the first place, certainly they should have taken them away before I bought them.

I wasn't ragging on Woodro either. Just frustration that it took a long time for the LT1 to get factored to a more realistic HP rating. It started at 275HP, the same as the 340 factory rating. I think it ended up around 350 HP. Sort of like when the Factory Showoff cars came out, the EFI cars were under rated at first.
