ponyakr,
No, I never got HP on the 400 ci Pontiac engine in the firebird .. Back then there were several Fast Firebirds, Don Holmes ,Paul Dilcher, Bob Michaels etc.... I held the record for several years, but never went faster than 1 . 15 under the index !!! Don Holmes & a couple of others got us most of the HP on the 400ci ??? I went from a M/sa to a K/sa in a year with 3-4 hits, which meant I had to add 250-300 lbs to my car ??? That's when I decided to build a 350 P with a HP rating of 250, couple years later 3-4 guys followed me... Then the 350ci got two 5HP hits up to 260hp, since then its got 3hp more ?? That's was about 3/4 years ago, when I bought the 1977 lemans from Bob... I figured it was better car & there are fewer being raced... So that's how I ended up with my Lemans ? There's a couple of 1975 Can Am's being run, Don Elgin in Seattle & Don Turk just Sold Danny Asley's white Cam Am.. Both cars are Fast !!! That's it , hope it helps ?
