Let me get this straight..... If I read this right.... My combo:1976 dodge aspen 360
factory rated @ 160 hp NHRA factored 284 hp. Keep in mind: dished 8.0 to 1 pistons ,.423 lift hydraulic flat tappet cam, iron boat anchor heads with 1.88 1.60 valves ,60lb cast iron intake with a plastic carburetor and having to weigh 3578lbs is supposed to be the same as a 5.9 drag pack: 11.4 comp,.490 roller cam, 2.02 valves ROLLER ROCKERS! magnum heads (which are killers right out of the box), aluminum high rise intake and port injection.

BOTH RATED @ 284 HP!!!!!!!If you look @ mopar performance catalog the engine in the drag pack combo is rated at 390 hp @ 5300 rpm.

how on earth is this fair or even competitivly close?
