You have to go to the NHRA site to the classification guide and look up each combination to see the changes.I guess the chimp who puts it up on the information site is off for the Christmas season.Coming back up East next year?

I noticed the Chevy 454 used in the Pontiac FWD GT combination did not get any HP.

Gene I thought sure they would take 4 HP off the combo.

Joe DeMarzo · 12-03-2008, 10:41 PM

Mickey, the guide said the HP is up to 405, so the answer is yes.

Gene, I think they are just picking on the king, 19 hp is a lot, that is down right wrong.

Joe - a little better, but still doesn't seem quite right, anyway watch your converter now with the extra 50 or so pounds and tell me if it doesn't flash a wee bit higher - [looser]. seriously my last hit @ 417HP - 3920 lbs min I had to change converter and the new one was out of the question!!! IF I'M WRONG ICE CREAM ESKIMO PIE ON ME - LOL

I saw the same thing but the 375hp/429 got a 5 hp gift going from 371 to 376, don't quite understand how a slower combo gets hp and the faster one doesn't. I am not even going to get into how the AHFS is such a joke.
