And that was the whole basis of the "Black Bird". PMD engine engineering dept's revenge on the street. To show what could have been. With the support of Russ Gee and Tom Nell trying different combinations and cams in the Black Bird.

As I said in the very beginning of the forum. Every one knew that the top guys had some sort of factory support. But, they kept their mouths shut onto the extent.

It was only Jimmy Addison who would open his mouth and tell every one about his factory support.

But things should be clearer about how things were on the streets of Detroit. You now have more insite about the fast cars and who owned them, or prepaired them.
