Has something to do with our long strokes for a given cid and crappy heads.
Still better than a puke Chevy.

Yeah Pontiacs never have been big HP makers anyway when talking about using conventional heads. So they always make great torque curves and that's what carries them down track. BBC has a far superior head much easier to make HP with that doesn't need a monstrous cam to get there, but they don't have the torque curve a Pontiac does.
