The chevy has 100 runs without pulling the motor apart the pontiac couldnt go 20.As far as me saying I made the wrong decision that will never happen.I spent well over a 100k in engine development over 6 years on the pontiac stuff out of my own pocket.With the chevy it gets split between 3 motors to some extent.My new car has already been sold at the end of the season so I can move up to extreme street.

Bruce,
I was in no way criticizing you specifically as I love Big Blocks in any form. Pontiacs are just my favorite.
$100k is that all? I was talking to Don K about a number 3 times that, and he said to me, "is that all"? (just couldnt resist)
Racing is expensive, especially if they make you start with all OEM castings and let everyone else run Bowtie and Edelbrock replacements.
