because it sounds like you think that the DZ 302 was not as powerful as the numbers indicated... and if you think its less than that, we need to educate you on some things... if you think its more than what was advertised, then you are in the right ball park... but your words seem to indicate that you do not know as much as you think you do about the 302 powered first gens.

i realize factory ratings dont lead to actual hp - anyone who is worth the car they drive (v6 or v8) would know that. i know that GM underrated hp/tq back in the day, however i havent "seen" data showing that it had 325hp or more than that (i figured maaaybe 280-300).
as for "what i was implying" - i was making discussion. this is a discussion board. it seems that everytime someone talks about the "z28" (currently) they want some big hp (400+) monster and i was trying to suggest that maybe GM wont make the z/28 some huge hp machine but rather put it back where it was back in the day (as a performance model, but not THE performance model) - ala the z/28 - SS - ZL1, just another option but not the top dog like some people are suggesting it might be.

I have several books, and the internet is my life - im a web developer. as such I am quite gifted at finding RELIABLE (as in actual reference information) regarding the things I am talking about.
I don't like to be wrong about things because I like to talk with people and like to try to be in the know - but if i say something that you consider wrong feel free to point it out. just dont be a sh!thead about it and i'll be happy to admit defeat.
