Fastest with manual trans?
What's the fastest/quickest anyone around here's gone while rowing?
What was the whole combo? Curious!

Years ago there were quite a few cars running 9's with 4 speeds, most were using the Liberty(Hemi) trans. I have run low 11's with one, my car ran high 11's with a Muncie last year. Bracket rules pretty much killed racing 4 speeds, JMO. -Jim

There are some WICKED fast manual trans cars are some of the big races. I can't get one to live very long, nearly every time I get near one being used behind a potent Pontiac mill, I break them.
To date I've blown up a couple of Muncie's and a Super T-10, while test driving customers cars with stout 455 engines. I don't drive them anymore, pretty embarrasing, especially when the owner is sitting in the passengers seat!.....Cliff

I love my G Force GF 2000 (clutchless 5 speed). I pulled my Jerico (9.75 @ 138mph best) and went to a Turbo 400 about three years ago. I was never happy with the turbo. I tried six different converters 8", 9" and 10" and different low gears. The best I could do was a 9.89 at 135.8 mph. The weather ( early october) and track conditions were great. The slip in high gear was 5 1/2%.
This winter the only thing I did was to install the G Force with a Bonnifante 10" clutch. Saturday I went 9.66 @ 139.24 mph. I think my 3620 lb weight and 4.375 stroke is too much for the turbo. A lot of racers have good luck with an auto but I gave it my best shot and I'm never going back. |

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
