Re: '76 302 gets +11 HP
Just thinking out loud. What if the car already was carrying this much weight? I have no knowledge of this to be true, just thinking. Congrats Mike on the performance. Can you go to say maybe F, G, or H now with new adjustment? LOL

Re: '76 302 gets +11 HP
My understanding is any V8 car that is natural U can be as heavy as you want, like Mike says no heavier class for it. BTW, congrats to the Grahams on the great performance..

Re: '76 302 gets +11 HP
There is a rule that limits how much weight that can be added. 500 lbs that includes permanent and removable weight. So if shipping weight of car is 3000# + 500# maximum allowable weight + 170# driver = 3670# maximum weight car can be in any class. I think this is correct.
