Chevy II 283/220hp is currently rated at 241hp.

Mike according to my cassification book in IHRA it is only 230 hp. We do not factor ours just because NHRA does . Most of the time if a combo goes fast over here is when it is looked at and changed.This is all 66 283 SS combos.I have my class books with me at home if you have any ?'s call me , I can try to help you if i can .Hope this helps!!!

Oops, thanks DW, I had been told differently.

Sorry about that. When I had to buy another engine to run in my car last year I was told(at a IHRA Divisional) it was the same as NHRA. That's why I went 327. IHRA has my combo factored less than NHRA. When I called IHRA about the factoring of my combo this year they said call NHRA we go off what they have.

But as far as i know it has not .I will call Hank tomorrow and verify for sure .Thanks for telling me this .DW outtttt !!!

Ed .What 327 combo do you have?My book shows a 327 /275/295 and 327/350/300. Just wondering about this one also since the 283 was quoted wrong. Hope thats right anyway .THANKS. DW gone again !!
