D/Dart of 1966 Super Stock option

Jim,
I think the only way the D-Dart engine 275HP would be competitive, is if they re-rated it to 245HP for stock. Where it really should be.
It would put the 66 Dart (#2942 lbs.) into the 12.00-12.49 wth/hp (I/S).

Holley carb #4160 700cfm (1 11/16" x 1 11/16") and the Cam-Craft
.495/.505 w/282* duration camshaft didn't make that 275HP.
I think Mother Mopar (Dodge Boys) fudged the HP rating a little
back in 66', to get it into D/S (10.60-11.29 wt/hp).
One wonders, if they properly rated it at 250HP (back in the day),
what it would have done in E/Stock (11.30-11.88 wt/hp)
