"...Figure some of the NHRA stocker guys like John Schloe are into the 10s in their first gens firebirds with one ,so maybe close..."

Yeah, there have been several Stockers run real low 10's with iron intakes, including some '68 Birds & Randi Lyn Shipp's '67 Bird. It's been posted here that Scott Burton dipped into the 9's, with his RAIV '70 Bird. I think Brad Burton's 455HO Bird is also capable of low 10's.

So, some of you guys who know how can probably figure the aprox hp.

Most know that the quick Stockers are NOT running completely "STOCK" components. BUT, head & intake porting to the max would probably not pass even a visual inspection. So, I figure these quick Stockers are about as "stock" as you'll find making 500+ hp with a factory Pontiac intake.

I realize that most of the "programs" that some use here will say that much power can not be made with the components the Stocker guys are using. But, they're obviously doing it, regardless of what the programs say. The Stocker performances speak for themselves.
