As we learn that altitude is 4200 feet and in the 80's it's no surprise that the cars were running slower and a blower GTP might keep up with it. It makes all the sense in the world now. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
You obviously have no expirence with a blower car if you think that. Heat and humitity have the same effects on a blown engine as they do on a NA engine. Maybe more so a problem with a blown engine. You see blowers make heat, lots of it, and heat kills power. I'll bet my intake temps were double that of the GTO's. Maybe Tom Vaught can chime in here and explain it better. There is a reason Ford uses intercoolers on their blown engines.
My times were off .2 to .3 tenths. MPH was also down 3 mph. You don't see me making any excuses. We were all on the same playing field. I'm not bashing the GTO here either. Just getting tired of people making excuses when it doesn't run what they think it should. Its tough defending the GTO to the Ford guys when they see what it really runs at the track. They know I'm a die hard Pontiac guy and they hit me with both barrells when they see its real world performance. I have to just suck it up and take the abuse. Also it doesn't help sales of the car when John Doe sitting in the stands sees what it runs.
