It doesn't appear that the 2016 Drag Packs have been added to the Classification Guide yet. You may want to contact NHRA and ask them to add it.

With that being said, if you look at the 2015 DP w/ 426 engine, the Power/Weight factor is 6.96 and the NHRA HP rating is 460.

That allows the car to run in the Factory Stock classes of FS/A at 6.00 PW factor (2930 min. wt. w/ driver), or FS/B at 6.50 PW factor (3160 min. wt. w/ driver) or FS/C at 7.00 PW factor (3390 min. wt. w/ driver).

There is a term called "natural" class, which since your cars PW factor is 6.96, the "natural" class is FS/B, which encompasses all cars with a PW factor between 6.50 and 6.99.

The minimum weight is calculated by using the class PW factor (6.50) multiplied by the NHRA HP rating (460), then adding 170 lbs. (to account for an "average" driver's weight).

(6.50 x 460) + 170 = 3160 lbs. minimum weight for FS/B

Class is determined by shipping weight. Driver weight allotment is added after and doesn't change class. Car can be lightened to the top of the class weight bracket. This is a FSB/A based on 2015 rules if I read it right. Can't run in FSA/

PS: It surprises me that several hundred people have read this question with only Greenlight and this (Ford) guy answering. Thought there were a lot of FS DragPak racers here.
