480 HO 390 HP Grand Prix was decent too.
Thread story Reminds me of a latenight street challenge with a 427 67 Chevelle 1/4 mile car where 3 stop/go lights in a row showed the 68 428 Pontiac easily pulling ahead. A week later the Chevelle owner denied every bit of it. And thatsa how it goes.
Ssems to me the SB Chevy shares fame with the 9" Ford rear; when made to run, there barely a stock part left.
The Pontiac made to run is tuning, tuning, some porting, and some tuning.
These days i'm wondering why a simple part throttle "acceleration" while in OD takes 65 mph to 100 mph like a couple seconds. Pondering if there is a 1/4 mile track strategy other than " wind-out and shift". Think about that; 1st gear to 60-foot and shift to OD.....naw.
