As for the RPM's on a Pontiac I agree with Slowbird....I know for 100% FACT My family has turned our Pontiac bracket motors to 6900-7200rpm through the traps for over 19 yrs wo issues (with 4 diff cars)did it for so long I'd feel pretty confident to say going through at 7500 would still be a "safe rpm" where not to many oil system modifications would need to be done other than maybe a good oil pump.
My current motor is only a 12.5:1 motor with .800 lift that doesn't have a very aggressive lobe......but is 615 cubic inches.
It barely made 1000hp at 6100
But was dyno'd with C15 due to it's consistency....
Therefore I could still think like a traditional Pontiac guy 
Maybe I should get ahold of of the guy that said he could make some adapters so I could put some stock 1969 Pontiac valve covers on it.. |
You need to get a PONTIAC back in that thing. Its WAY TOO PRETTY for knuckle dragging BBC.
Call up Marcella and have him run a set of High Ports through his 462cfm CNC program, a little work on a BOP, Scott to cam it and you can have 1000 HP of pure PONTIAC back in your ride.
Might be a little more cam than .800, but still very reliable.
