I am also a die hard Pontiac guy, but my car was built with the mindset that it can handle a screw blown(or turbocharged) Hemi if that was ever the choice...That doesnt keep me from thinking about how fast a bigger bore spaced Pontiac design could run with either a screw, or two big twins...Chief's combo has consistently been the front runner for years, and it is so damn basic that its not even funny...A cylinder head that flows 350cfm and still can run 3.90s at weight...There is no reason that there isnt a considerable amount left to gain...It just takes the effort, knowledge, and willingness to go out and try...

2 things... Chief was a front runner but you see where he is now...or rather not..
Also, I'm not sure his combo had a lot more to give. If it did, it was on borrowed time in my opinion. The guy did an amazing job with what he had no doubt.
