Jack got 965 with Gabby E heads and Victor and 13-1, maybe 13.5-1 in a 535. 406 cfm but its at .900 lift. More like high 390s where you can use it in the .800 range.

Not many 890 HP bracket engines out there. Low maintenance, I think its great.

Numbers look good to me. True happiness is wanting what you got.

[KEN CROCIE]

Nice job aaron. do you have a HP graph you care to publish?

[GTO Dan]

Stout and reliable, well done. Enjoy it!

I agree Scott glad you said it first ..lol my 505 with E-heads was not off from this ..

[chiefbigb]

If he had said this is a max effort race engine that had known parts consumption in a short amount of time it might not be the best numbers. Almost 900 hp and easy on parts I call it a win

Have a dyno sheet of your engine?


I still say that's a good combo.
With the aluminum block it is probably outstanding.
In a cast iron block like his 'real' race engine, which is 955 HP,

It's on this board some place I don't have it with me from 2012 look it up I'm never on here the only one talking is you as always same s*** here all the time f****** circle jerk

[Dragncar]

I remember seeing it. Talked to Dave B. about his heads. He was quite proud of them.

[slowbird]

Whatever happened to if you don't have anything nice to say then don't say anything.

[chiefbigb]

You can always say you talked to someone that actually does something.

[Scott Roberts]

So much butt hurt in here... all I said was it seem like the numbers were kinda low to be packed so tight...
I'm sure it will be a great bracket engine.. I personally never built a bracket engine.. maybe I'm ignorant...I have always built for max power...
I see engines at the same cubes with .3 points higher and medium ported tigers making 960hp at 535ci... what's the big differance? Are tigers that much better??

What happened to the days of men accepting other opinions without crying?
Funny coming from you, you bashed the cv1 every chance you got ....so stfu and yes, I would say it to your face

Lol fair points. But in my defense cv1 are crap in my opinion

I don't mind the criticism. I'm sure there is more in this combo. Induction side is limited and we'll fix that over time. Just trying to share so others know that with off the shelf parts you can build a nice Pontiac engine that will go 300-400 passes before freshening. At 56 years old I'm not seeing as many Pontiac engine, Pontiac cars at the track and I'm worried about our hobby. Sharing simple combinations might make a difference for the person who is considering a Pontiac engine vs. another Chevy. In bracket racing reliable & repeatable power is key. Ask Jeff Verdi and Jerry Loan. For the price of this engine I could have called Reher Morrison and had a 565 that makes more power. I didn't because that's not my brand. Trying to prevent the Pontiac engine from extinction and supporting Pontiac vendors is part of my DNA. PM me if you want more details on the combo.

More power to you Aaron! Like I said, I may be ignorant to bracket engines.... I'm happy for you! Cut em down!
