Hell most tracks are 1/8 mile anyways.........aint nothing!!

Really? My good friend Dougy has been running TS since 2010 he could qualify for all the races then....this past year his 2600lb 1360NA HP 632 DNQ's at few races every year since 2012...and is usually close to the bump running 7.30'[email protected] is a perennial championship contender....Heck George your in Division 3 the cars are fast fast in D3 you should know that.










Ok so what would you guys recommend for a guy that wants to stay Pontiac has a maxed out set of heads maxed out block WONT RUN POWER ADDERS IN A SUPER CLASS(since that curt is putting that motor in his SUPER GAS CAR)
Wants to run Naturally aspirated been running towards the top of his class in MPH (because that seems to be his preference) wants to put 200runs on a motor wo changing valve springs or head gaskets or plugs until the motor needs new rings and bearings.....and wants his 9.90 SUPER GAS CAR to run WELL OVER 170mph????? Is there a Pontiac doing that?WHAT IF there IS some guys that feel their Pontiac motors are at a crossroads and wana stay Pontiac but don't wana spend Another obsurd amount of money and another absurd amount of time to wait for it.... Suggestions are welcome.

Please don't bring up Something that's been 7yrs in the making either please I'm talking a realistic time frame....

I also saw Mr FULTONS motor brought up...
Yes FULTONS car is very impressive but it still took WELL over a year for that motor to materialize....

AND LOL if you keep bringing up turbo cars in SUPER GAS/SUPER COMP/SUPER STREET.Im sure it can be done but not competitive anytime soon. I know there is guys trying it and it's awesome but they struggle badly.
