I'm not an expert on the 1970 NHRA rules but read that 1970 Pro Stock was run on 7 HP per pound so the 430 Chevy could run in a 3010 lb Camaro.

by 1971 they were going into the mid 9s in NHRA Pro Stock so were making pretty good power on gas with tunnel ram 2x4bbs

the online ET-MPH-HP calculator says " Your HP is 693.88 computed from your vehicle weight of 3010 pounds and ET of 9.50 seconds"

The 430 CamAm engines were making good power also here is a youtube vid
Dyno Testing - 1973 McLaren Can-Am Big Block Chevy
where it pulls 750hp

They don't say if its a 430, 465, or 495 cu in engine
