Steve....when I worked with IHRA I pulled the 1955 180 HP combo BACK to 180 HP. I used all of the factors from the OLD NHRA "RED" class guide. Check with Hank Blankenship or Danny Waters. If it went back to 205 HP (S/S factor) I dont know when or why it was done. In my opinion that was the WRONG thing to do. We had a couple of '55 Chebies running with IHRA in stock and pure stock about 10-12 years ago.
