If we could have made it to Norwalk we would have. Norwalk itself is the destination-not a silly match race. Please do not take an explanation as a list of excuses. We first heard of this thread when we had our heads in our hands Saturday night discussing our dwindling options.
I understand this wide port/cv1 rift but it still to this day seems laughable to me. For heavens sake what on earth did yall bicker about BEFORE someone sunk everything they owned into helping a stock bore spacing Pontiac block make more horsepower? Was it tire brands or how Pontiac one's Pontiac still is? For those keeping track: Last time I checked the only stock Pontiac piece we actually run is the roof metal. No joke.
Wide ports are great. They make awesome power. Both our sets were pretty darn maxed out. RR gave us a set of cast entry level Street heads off the shelf to try. We took our motor we call "Billie" to the dyno and pulled the crap out of her. Then we took our maxed out ported e heads off and bolted on the cast cv1s. They flat made more power. And we said, "COOOL!" we like more power. The discussion ended there for me. Though I new of it I was about as uninformed on the big debate as one could hope for.
For what it's worth, I don't get spooled up on this forum racing stuff but to those with e heads, I believe you have a good piece. If I didn't believe in the e head I'd say so _ask around I don't hold back. I'm no nut hugger.
I just have trouble shaking the feeling I had during our first trip to Norwalk when I thought, wow what a place! And everyone here is going fast with fireturds n goats n everything! N btw that first year popps pointing out how kickass that bright red gto is, liljack. -My dad's favorite year goat.
I'll conclude my blathering by saying, as disappointed as I am to not have a chance to go to Norwalk, I'm equally as disappointed in the personal shots n fence building in the Pontiac ranks both home and abroad. U know who u are. I call on all yall to light it up at Norwalk and ****ing pull the pins and let it rain Pontiac ****ing thunder this weekend! Head down shoulder in.

well said brandt. i wass hoping that the few late nights we came and helped would be the extra help that was needed to get the car ready but apparently there were some electrical gremlins that had other plans. hoping to see the car out soon. good luck testing.
