This is probably a better interpretation of a real world Chevelle muscle car.

I'm not saying you're incorrect, but in 1970 Chevy reported gross horsepower. In 1971, they reported both gross and net horsepower and in 1972 only net horsepower was reported. Is it possible you're referring to the same engine, but with a different reporting standard?
