Hey guys, you have part of that HP rating system of the past right.
Up intil 79 (not sure if its 79 or 80) cars were rated by gross bhp. that means the engines were rated without the A/C and emissions stuff attatched, so they were actually overrated. a car with 170 gross BHP might have 125 actual wheel hp. and some like the hemi were rated lower than they could actually produce, for insurance purposes. however they were rated in gross BHP just like the others, so a Hemi Cuda rated at 425 BHP, might put 400 to the wheels.
