Little engines that can

[Salvatore]

MacNeish runs 10.40's with his D/S 302 camaro. Not sure what NHRA rates them now but a 302/290 hp motor I think is NHRA rated at 310 or so? Don't hold me to that but close I think. That NHRA rating kinda hurts them.
Everything has to work perfect and there are many tricks to the trade that they ALL do. Gearing is a big part along with the clutch and even the correct headers.

When the 1985 versions of the 305 camaros run in the 10's you know the HP rating from GM is way off. NHRA adds HP to those figures.
