I had an opportunity to see this Trans Am race twice at two locations.
Once on Mrs Harcutt's driveway (outside of Barstow, California) and later
at the Bonneville Salt Flats. The engine made 2200 hp with a 7.5L engine.

There was another 13 pounds of boost left in the Turbo(s) capability.

Banks does everything first class when he takes on a project.

About a hundred mile per hour faster than GTO George runs down the track 287 mph.
Course, just to get on the Big Boys Track at Bonneville you have to run at least 200 mph. So how many Pontiac guys total have run 200 mph in anything?
Would assume less than 10 cars total in Pontiac History. KRE would have the number, I suppose.

A True Pontiac Engine, built right, should have the ability to run that same MPH with the same 7.5L engine size and boost at Bonneville with a Bob and Frank Block.

Mickey Thompson is the last Pontiac Guy to do anything there.
Where are the Bonneville Racers? John Clegg has run there but he runs a chebby engine like Banks.
