Talking Re: LS1 Horsepower Factors

If a Firebird,GTO,Camaro,and Corvette all have different horsepower factors because they are different body styles,then fine.

So how about a lower horsepower factor for a convertible?
The top blows up in the wind and needs 40 horsepower off?

Well we certainly agree on that ! ! And while you're writing to the NHRA please add my name to the list .Why you ask ?? Tell them i'd like a reduction of horsepower for my COPO convertible and i'm sure it makes more MPH so I should get a bigger reduction than you . Happy New Year to me .........

Easy solution is to put the top down. If that doesn't work bring your motor to Brian Tilburg and tell him make it go fast. BP

Refresh my faded memory about the Ford hp/ body style differences running the same combos.
