GT class configuration...

Eric, this is untrue. You can run the 383 in a SS/GT class. You would use the same SS factor as defined for a non-GT. The only time there is an entry in the classification guide specifically for GT is when the AHFS has made an adjustment on a particular engine when it is used in a GT application. The more popular engines used in GT classes are more likely to have a GT specific factor, but only because there has been more opportunity to get hit. All of them started out as regular SS factors and have been enhanced sometime in the past.
