Since I brought it up, I feel obligated to post a little more info about Randi Lyn & her '67 Bird Stocker. Here are some quotes from the article, linked below the quote.
"...Running at 3,210 lbs. (with driver) in D/SA (11.55 index), the Pontiac has run 10.40 at 124 mph. And when set up lighter for C/SA, it's run a best of 10.31 at over 125 mph...
Amazingly, the Poncho sings to 6,800 before she clicks the gears, and it buzzes across the stripe where no Pontiac should go—revving to 7,800-8,000 rpm!...
rated by Pontiac at 325 hp and factored to 338 hp by NHRA. It's meticulously prepared to take full advantage of the Stock Eliminator guidelines and produces north of 500 hp..."

The article was published back when she only had 4 nat event wins. I think she now has 7. But, I don't think she's married yet. So, she's still "Miss" Shipp, & has never been "Mrs. Shipp". LOL
There are lots of pics in the article. One of 'em shows that the engine does indeed have 670 heads. And I assume she revealed the 500+ hp number, because she's seen the dyno numbers.
So, bottom line is that she shifts @ 6800, crosses @, or very near 8000, makes over 500hp, & has run quicker than 10.50's.
She even provided the ET, top speed, & total weight numbers, so you guys who know how to calculate stuff can do your thang.
Randi Lyn seems like a real nice lady, and their whole racing operation seems to be 1st class. So, she & her Pontiac are a couple of my favorites.
But, with all that said, I still don't have a clue if those 670 ports are "as cast", or not.
Here's another article, with less technical info.
