My opinion is WHO CARES ?

If somebody wants a Chevy engine, buy or build one. If someone wants a 10,000hp nitro engine & has the money to build one, do it.

But if someone just wants to badmouth the Pontiac engine & post how inferior it is, why post that on a Pontiac forum ?

I suspect there are FAR more Chevy forums where the greatness of Chevy engines can be discussed.

Opinions differ.

PS: Not meant as a put down to any particular member here. LOTS of members here have been guilty of it. I've also mentioned the fact that a small block Chevy engine can be built much cheaper than a Pontiac. But, I always recommend a Pontiac, for those who can afford it, NOT because it's the greatest engine design ever. But mostly because I'm a Pontiac freek, & I like to see a Pontiac engine in a Pontiac body, especially if that body came from the factory with a Pontiac engine. We're all entitled to our opinion.

No one said to build or use a Chevy engine.

Dragncar like to say IF Pontiac did this or that, how much more power the Pontiac would have made as compared to the Chevy. A couple of us I just trying to tell it as it is.
