I think Paul was just saying with today's better flowing heads it is not that hard to get a 455 Pontiac in the 10s and even be a fairly mild streetable car. My pump gas motor in the 78 TA can do it with good air(the hard part in Houston) and my light wheels no spare 3750 lbs. It is easily reproducible and even has a HFT cam that pulls plenty of vacuum for power brakes. 320 cfm round port E heads, Torker II I did spend a lot of time blending and had to raise the roof, out of the box Holley 850 DP-one jetting leaner, 2" Hooker Super comps into a 3" X and mufflers and full tailpipes. 9" slicks and a 10" Continental Convertor. No Caltracs, slapper bars just some front half biased springs.
