I will never understand how a combo like a 1997 LT1 can be rated at 358 in Stock,but it drops to 279 in Super Stock.

SUPER means MORE modifications allowed.So if the Stock factor is 358,the Super Stock factor should be at least 358.

That might make it tougher to run under the index for some that find it so easy.
The Stockers keep getting SS parts so there is less distance between them than before. Stockers are qualifying well in SS and you want the SS cars to carry a higher HP factor than they are, any more and the Stockers will be running faster than the SS cars in the SS class. Look at the bump for Indy, SSers are almost a tenth behind the Stockers, if anything they should have a higher factor in relation to the SSers.
