Anyone have an idea what NHRA's thinking is on this one? Looks like the same engine, but I have to be missing something obvious. They changed it back a day later for some reason.

Because a 1983 Camaro has a different front fascia than the 85/86 Camaro. It is a different car. It's a different engine as it uses a 432 intake manifold...in addition to being allowed the 055 and 053.

Ok. Thanks. They'll have to change the 1984 180hp back to 263 as well.

Thanks for the further explanation. I learned something today. I didn't realize they got that technical. Thanks again.
