so now the L88 corvette is rated 1 hp less than our 435hp combo in the same car. that's retarded, and I even wrote a letter to try and get a 5hp reduction.

'cause it only gets one carburetor and you get three carburetors?

Ug, when it's a power increase, the '81 Camaro gets lumped in with the '82-'84. When its a reduction it gets left out. Hopefully its a typo.

Lightbulb Re: Mid-year horsepower posted @ nhra.com

But Jeff didn't say or know is the 427/435 is also one full point of comp less and also has a smaller cam than the L88. how in the heck did somebody get HP off an L88. I see they didn't reduce the HP on the ZL1, it's still at 445 and it's the same except the cam as an L88. Well gota go now and see if putting my fingers in a wall socket will help me understand how they think?
