Mike, the rating comes from past performance of that combo. When that "275 rated" 360 goes 8.90's in SS/IA trim, I guess they just figured that adding 200-300 more lbs, it should be capable of running under 10.00. Remember, it wasn't that long ago that SS/IA and GT/FA didn't even need a license, until someone went faster than 10.00 at that weight break. Now, since a GT/HA car went under 10.00 at Indy, that class should need a license and full cage also.

I understand your argument, but based on performance of your combo in SS and or SS/GT, not surprised at all. And, lets be honest, the old indexes that these new factory combos fell under were kinda soft.
