I should probably mention they made the cover. Also they use a torque wrench to adjust their valves.

Very cool and it's a rare day to see a Pontiac on their cover. Absolutely beautiful car and not bad performance for a 1.77 intake valve(typo in the article)! No mention of the Sikgoat moniker, either. Congrats, guys!

Great Ink! I will have to go out and buy that magazine and give Car Craft a read after 15 years of ditching them. If they are willing to put a great Pontiac on the cover and a do a nice feature on a GTO without an LS transplant, they deserve some support IMO. Very nice, congratulations.
