The main reason I brought this up, some guys have decided to move to the BBC combination. As we've seen over the past few years, 1000 HP is very attainable with the Pontiac engine, but not something that will come from tossing abunch of parts togther. My point is to build the engine for 1050-1100 HP which will require a well executed induction system, you can always gear the car to lower the RPMs throughout the run to increase longevity. All Pontiac engines are cylinder head challanged. The dyno sheets or combinations posted had a high end designed head, intake, cam and fuel system. These combos werent intened to peak at 7000 RPM, but much more. Raising peak torque is horse powers best friend, higher RPM's can be a killer on parts. The typical mind set in the Pontiac community is building torgue monsters and motors that don't redline above 6500 RPM.
