Well STALLION, I here Pro Stock cars you can push them with a finger or two. Super Stock kind of the same way.
The two head guys that have impressed me the most lately are Marcella and Wilcox. And you know, both are NOT Pontiac gurus. But maybe you have a guy up north who also knows air flow. Maybe it was your HPs.......... I just turned 52. And folks my age all remember the T shirt or poster with the mouse or rat (nothing to do with Chevy fellas) giving the finger to the hawk or eagle coming to scoop him up in his talons. It was called Last Act of Defiance . A whole lot of folks on this site have got to know what that means. Pontiacs Rule. |

[QUOTE=GTOGEORGE;5674419]With a lite car that you have and any 500+ cubed Pontiac with an Don Hampton 2 lobe 8-71 will get you quick enough.
Hi George, how are you? First I am a Pontiac guy, 2nd I am a N/A guy. I do not know who Don Hampton is and I think a, 2 lobe 8-71 is a blower? Not for me. Funny thing is that all my friends, racing and non racing ask me what did Pontiac ever do for me, my answer, NOTHING. My Dad had Pontiacs but just for work and my Mom to do stuff for the house and for us. As we know I like to be different, anyone can build/order a 1200HP chubby but you have to be pretty sharp to get 1200HP out of a Traditional Pontiac N/A motor AND run 7:30s or quicker in a lite door car. Oh yeah, with a basic traditional Pontiac head not a chubby head that's bolts onto a Pontiac block. Langer, RELAX, I know how hard it is to run 7:70s N/A in a 10,000LBS car!!! |

Super Chief is just fine with me 2goats. They stayed true to the RAIV style head from the maker that honored the Native American tribe, Pontiac.
I am not one of those guys who has a problem with the Washington Redskins name either. You would be surprised to see how many Redskins jackets and tattoos you see on a Indian reservation. I just think its freaking amazing that a head that turned out as a aluminum replacement for the RAIV head has made 1218HP NA !! Mikes, well now mine in a few days even have the stock valve location. Nothing moved around. Even the factory Edelbrock steel guides are still there. When Edelbrock called Whittmores shop years ago and asked what kind of head did he think they should build he got what he asked for. Only exception was for one with 65 cc chambers so you could get CR with a 400. Bet a lot of folks wish it was made. |

Dang your all over it!!!!!!! Just a quick couple of questions. How much racing have you done in the past 10yrs ? What's your plans racing wise once you get the baddest Eheads on the planet on a motor and running? Do you plan on driving the car a ton? By a ton I mean 200-300 passes a year. How soon do you think you will make all that happen? And Good Luck to you I would be happy too if I had Mikes old Eheads!

200-300 passes a year, I couldn't afford racing that much let alone not doing anything else in the summer (Camping, etc.). Back in my younger days going to Detroit Dragway racing sometimes 3 times a week. Racing was maybe 50 bucks with entry, gas and beer! GTO George |

I plan on racing about that amount. I have a track nearby (Samoa Drag Strip) that is at seas level, on a beach, surrounded on 3 sides by ocean, 65 deg in the summer. Track was re paved a few years back. Good track for going fast.. It will take me a good year at least to put it all together. Dont have the block yet. Stallion was trying to sell me his MR1A a few years back, but now he wants to run it. Just when I finally had the money! I have the heads, complete with T&D and pushrods and some billet steel rods. maybe a good used IA2-MR1 will come up, but it seems they are scarce. My idea is to try and make a 900HP on CA pump gas. Something that does not need a ton a maintenance. Mike says I could make 850 with a flat tappet, so I see no reason a good size roller wont get me 900, maybe more. real question is the intake. Have a Victor but Mike say it will choke the heads. Dont think much of the BOP, He likes the Tiger but some say it will be hard to fit. Then there is the BBC 2x4 tunnel ram H&M will make fit a Pontiac for 1600$. I run Hooker 2" SCs on my 455 HO so I will run those to start. Might run a 850 on it and try and ET around 10 flat and go up from there. Just keep putting more carb to it(have a pile of them) get thrown back in the seat, when that stops scaring you give it more carb, more cam until I am scared again. The car has a rear end and suspension that can handle 1600HP so I just want to play it smart and have fun. |
