301 in the 13's? Of coarse I was looking for forum input... and the opinion is no. I've known Pontiac81 for over 10 yrs. I never had the fortune of seeing his 13 sec. '79 in action . But I have seen still clips of it at Norwalk. Wayne has been a Pontiac fan nearly as long as I so I do believe he knows a 301 from a 455. He is a very good personal friend of mine so if he says it was accomplished then I believe him. Hi Performance Pontiac(Thunder Am mag.)had an article way back in the 80s on the 301 so I do know that it does not have Hi Po internals. As for the rest ... you guys know more of the 301 workings than I. I do know ,however , that Waynes' current 81/301 has been beaten' on ever since I've known him. I am ,in truth, surprised that it has taken such a beating all these years. I don't know what it is capable of running @the strip but it will chirp the tires pretty hard on the 1st to 2nd upshift @ full throttle. It is, in my view, pretty peppy for the little he has done to it(this it a 3.08 geared T/A). If I had to" guess- ta- mate "its perf. I'd say very low 15s @ least. Larry
