Ok?
 
NHRA just released 3 more Stock and 3 more SS HP changes? I don't know what changed in the GM 346 or the GM 305 numbers but the 2V 302 Ford just lost 5 HP in a Mustang and 30 HP in a big car. What gives? 82 full sized Ford at 132 HP would qualify as a new "Dime Rocket"!

So are they back to the original OEM horsepower ratings?

over 20 hp reduction on the mavericks comets and Gary Summers mustang. He will be number one at Indy this time for sure. thats softer than the truck ever thought of being.. Those are 12.90 or better U Cars

So, just for those who don't follow the lower classes or Nitro Joes, the #1 car on Nitro Joe's Top Guns of NHRA Stock Eliminator at -1.656 in T/S just got 23 HP back! I wonder if Gary even knows yet.

Billy, I don't know if any of the full-size Fords can get light enough to take advantage of this! Either way, it looks like somebody missed the boat here! The Mavericks and Comets maybe deserved a few HP off, but I don't know about the others.
How about one of your favorites - the '82 Mustang - getting 5 more HP off and it looks like it's now a natural Q combo? I thought that was nuts until I looked at the '78 combo!

Even at 162, I thought that a Fairmont/Zephyr would be a great dime rocket. But now that it fits U/SA...

Is this a decision made by one person, "the ahfs system" or by committee...??

Re: Ok?
 
So my 72 Comet GT would be a natural U/SA car? 302 @ 143hp? The 2 BBL probably makes it a bad combo, or is there any hope of making it under the 14.85 index?

Has anybody verified with Pat C. that this isn't a typo?

Every other HP adjustment has a separate column for OEM HP
and one for NHRA HP. Even if they are the same, they are both listed. Looks to me like they need to hire a proofreader.....
