But take note, the real power comes from a well-chosen cam and heads recommended by a proven Pontiac shop.
That and taking time to tune the entire combo to near perfection.
It takes more than just big cubes, it takes dedication to getting everything in line. |
Actually my shortblock before this one was out of a 72 Pontiac Hearse!Starting tuning this combo back in 2009 in a different car with 3.42 gears picked up a bit each year...takes track time and patience...nothing like making a change and driving 100 miles to the track to find the car go slower!
