First Pontiac ever in the 9's. Congrats to Rick Mahoney and Scott Tiemann for a whale of an effort over the years to get to this point!

Congrats to Rick and Scott!

That's an awesome time, especially on those tires they run?

:)

That's a great accomplishment and timely, too. There is a nice article about the car in the brand new Pontiac Perfection Magazine. Just got mine yesterday.

Got a link to the Pontiac Perfection magazine so I could get a subscription, Mike?

Sorry Tom, It's the Poncho Perfection magazine, the new Don Keefe Project. I posted the wrong name. It's available digital or print. I am old school and like to have a paper magazine as long as they are still printing them. www.ponchoperfection.com

Congrats to Rick and Scott!
Back at the Spring Musclepalooza race, Rick told me he was pretty confident that it would turn a 9 at the MIR race. I guess he was right! :D

Congratulations Rick and Scott! :thumbup:

Dang, that's impressive. Nice job

Nice!
But why do those RAIIs run so well. They are just iron D port intake port with round port exhaust.
They seem to run as well or better than RAIVs.

The point Dragncar was trying to make is the fact that the RAII intake port is not a raised port like on the RAIV head. It's essentially the same standard-size intake port you'll find on the common high-compression big-valve D-port 400 heads, such as the 1968 #16 head.

Most all of us are aware they're a round-port exhaust head, but again quite unique and unlike every other round-port head because of the standard-size intake port.

Huge congrats to Rick and Scott, simply an amazing accomplishment! :thumbup:

Amazing for sure...gettin that thing to hook up seems quite the accomplishment...Congrats guys!
