Plan wasnt to pound his chest. There's some serious money guys in his group. They trash between rounds.
Then there's others like Brad. Just have'n fun race'n and hang'n with bud's. Their a pretty tight group.
Hit most of the Midwest Nostalgia SS events, run all day long, not get dirty, relax at nite, repeat next day.
Get home, leave car in trailer, wait for next event.
How much better can it get?!
That pretty much nailed it, except mine are old wideports and it's a Hogan designed to look like a bathtub. I'm guessing I've picked up quite a bit over the old motor. The car's gonna run pretty good and get me down the track more than fast enough to hang with our group. Mission accomplished. If I want to get serious down the road, I'll throw some Holleys on it and more compression.

The original design intent of this was to make a conservative 875. Getting into the motor, there were many issues(Larry ran it hard for years) and just about everything got touched to some degree. Yeah, the sum of the parts are more oriented toward a higher end goal but I was able to pick up a lot of these parts reasonable from fellow racers and it could be considered over engineered for the build. As Mike mentioned above, I'm more into having fun than making a huge number. It's in the car and I'm working to get a few other things wrapped up on it. We'll see how it goes down the track.

I didn't see Hooter in any of your posts disrespecting you or your builds.I guess he could have went into Leeches post where his engine blew all to hell and said he felt it should have stayed together longer than 5 minutes based on the specs and the parts he had, must have been built by an idiot? Yeah he could have said he felt Quinns car should have ran a lot better with Marcellas. intake that cost an arm and a leg and ran the same as a cast intake that Marcella said was junk ? Yeah he could have, hmm but didn't.

I guess he has class, something some people will never have.


535 , 13 to 1 , 2 carbs on a sheet metal , wide port e-heads said to be real good.
Seems to me should be a bit better at a quick glance. Thats all, sorry if im not the guy who says ....hey good job..........and then turns to his buddy and says .....wow what a turd that should have made more. If that makes me an ass hole in your eyes, well then im an ass hole, im ok with that.

As far as the rest of your post and past posts, i think create your own false reality and are probably pathological because the truth is to hard for you.

Sincerely,
Ass Hole

good for you. If your happy thats all that matters. I was not slamming your motor, just other a-holes that make it look that way.

No, the car has never ran down the track and we have not even heard that it was dynoed.

Those light ass cars don't need a lot of power to get down the track.

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.
