Pontiac 455's pull those numbers quite often, its not till you get over a 1,000hp that chevy has an advantage and thats because of aftermarket support!
541 pontiac 785hp at 6400, pump gas, Standard port SD 350 E-heads, no big deal Mild Setup
Pump Gas Street 467 660hp 632tq mild hi ports, single Carb
Pump gas 498cid Pontiac SD Street Engine 700hp 650tq standard entrance E-heads, single carb, not pushing anything hard.
Notice how many 625-675hp 496 BBC's are running 11.50's and slower!
Same power in a Pontiac runs Low 10's!
PHR i think it was had some Bad Azz 496 that made a bunch of power on the Dyno went on to run so slow in the car they had 3 pages of excuses of why it didn't run 9's
Pontiac's basic Design Functions Much better as a High HP Street/Strip Engine Cube for Cube From My Experience
And Way to go Ernie! Wait till you guys see what he ran today! He is getting Faster!!!
