Reckon part of the A+B dominance is due to weight (or lack thereof)?

A wise racer once told me &quot;You ain't gotta tune weight!&quot;

yes, a little bit of weight factor but the good stock/superstock motor builders feel that the L78 revs a little higher which seems to make that a factor also. seems like the A/SA camaro's are 427 motors. But the new DP Mopars and Mustangs are making them a non factor lately.

-----Just reread the Mecum description and saw the reference to &quot;original paint&quot;. If true, (it almost looks too good) thats why the spoiler is still there. Nobody would repaint or restore this Yenko and leave that spoiler on the trunklid......Bill S
