Royal's 69 Firbebird H.O.
Here was the 69 Firebird 350/H.O. John Politzer et.al were asked to leave a East Coast event after their time trials where way below the NHRA record for the class. The car was actually running 11.80's. About a Second faster ten the record. This is why the Track Tech stated, I'm not sure what you guys have done to this car but, I'd hate to tear it down and find something. It was "HIGHLY" suggested they leave and not run eliminations and leave...now.
Note the ram air setup. Taking a hollowed out hood tac and putting it on the passenger's side of the hood. Brian Balllish and Dave Warren put this combination together. This was a very efficient air pump. More so then a 400 cid. John Delorean never wanted a 350 HO to run stronger then their 400. The 350 would kill sales of the 400. Many magazine acceleration times where not the "real" times. So faster some slower. Ever wonder why your new car back in the day was never as fast as the magazines? Rarely, was your car as fast or faster then the magazines...LOL
