To Tell the Truth

The 1968 '340 GTS' Darts were rolling off the Los Angeles assembly line in August 1967.

So it was not suprising to see one running at one of the drag strips in
D/S or D/SA in 1967, before the NHRA re-factored them to 310 HP
for 1968, and re-set the stock classes.

Same thing with the 383 Road Runner and Super Bee,
as they started showing up in late-October 1967.
They fell into the 1967 class of B/S or B/SA.
1968 found them in E/S or E/SA, same class as the 340 GTS Darts and
340 Barracuda's.

A few years ago I remember seeing a graph of the actual in-house Chrysler HP numbers for the 440 6 packs in '69. The 390 HP rating was taken at a mid-high rpm, and I think it topped out @ 440-450 HP at the peak HP/RPM range, I seem to remember a 444 HP run. I'll see if I can find it and post it.
