Ernie is a very humble nice guy! He never claimed he was the fastest or the best all he wants to do is reach his goals and i am glad he is willing to share his Results with us!
I am happy he allowed me to port an intake manifold for him to test!
R&D isn't cheap!
I think its pretty neat that a street car can cruise down the highway at a reasonable rpm, pull off at the track, almost run 10's with many parts and Pieces that "Don't Work" then cruise home like nothing happened! I like Sleepers!
I couldn't afford other people building my motors i learned how to do it myself, But i still couldn't afford things like Gear Vendors OD or a 4L80E conversion or my dream a Built 5-6 speed manual, So i was stuck with TH400's and Tall Gears
Luckily i Build Pontiacs! One of the Few Domestic V8's Capable of doing what Ernie's Car is Doing!
Is he claiming he is the fastest? The Best? Nope! But he is Doing a Damn Good Job of Hauling Azz with the Combo he has!
Thanks Ernie!
Thanks for the kind words ..its all about testing and tuning and sharing.A local at the track asked me last outing what I've done over the years as far as tuning.He remembers the other car running low 12's...as we were chatting another guy looked over puzzled and asked how the hell have you dropped 1 second off without touching the basic combo...So I then told him step by step everything that was a positive gain on the car over the last 6 or 7 years...The gains have always been one change at a time at the track....
