Yes,the Stage II stuff was just like the RA V,it was over the counter.But there was definitely more than a couple of proto types made,but I don't know prod. figures.
And try to find any Stage II stuff,big money like the RA V.
From what I have read,a GS Stage 1 alone had 370 "rated" hp and 510 lbs of torque and was the fastest production muscle car of it's time in the QTR mile.
Now,bring in the Hemi's,and I'm not sure.
