TRUCKS: Because they are so light in the back, come with a middle of the road gears between 3.42-3.73, all combined with street radials account for the false sense of power.

The choice is yours on how bad you want to embarass the driver of the truck! I didn't even mention the facts surrounding what a 330HP SBC has to do to pull/push a 4500lb truck down the track. If he could get low 15's in the 1/4 I'd be surprised. JD

Good luck to the new owner of the Ventura II! Sold the car after 13+ years. Look for it on the Hot Rod Power Tour in the future as it's currently being re-configured as a Pro-Touring ride!

About Us

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.
