Re: The Best HP Rated Car.
I'll go way back.
1962 Dodge/Plymouth 361/305HP Pretty dominant from 62' thru 67'. And of course the early 69' Chevy 350/255HP LM1 engine in the Camaro's and Nova's. PC |

There are some good 350's out there but the 255 rated @ 280 is not one... It's fair at best ! |

Re: The Best HP Rated Car.
If you want the best HP rated car contact Bob Shaw. I'm sure he could put together some combo that would do the trick.
Ron Ortiz U/SA not the best combo

He might be looking for "ancient" combos like the blown 312 Fords, etc. Overall though, I'd say it would have to the GM 1993 LT1 ,which is now + 71 HP over what it entered the books at.

Re: The Best HP Rated Car.
I would value the opinions of the four "gurus" of Stock - Mark Yac, Neil Smedley, Bob Shaw and Billy Nees. We've heard from Mark. I await hearing from the others. I know this much, my combo is definitely NOT the best - '86 305 165/249.

Put the flat hood on and its 20 less than the automatic. In the Camaro its 24 less than the automatic In a Corvette is 33 less than the Camaro.
