You know anyone with that engine?
Where did KRE's HP engines qualify in Tom's race at Norwalk?

I do not know anyone with that engine. What I do know is if KRE offers the power level it will deliver, I've been on their pump. Do you offer more power with their parts? I don't know anything about Tom's race.

What I do know KRE is the quickest Pontiac 1/4 mile with Pontiac power. They also have the quickest Pontiac powered door car on the planet.

What is your point?

I have that engine in my car...mine is the original one they advertised @ 1030hp with just the cast Wenzler quad intake. Jeff told me it would go 1075hp with a sheetmetal intake. The motor makes steam. Just everything else in my car needs tweaking. Converter, suspension, ........

Stated- "Think I'd be looking for someone familiar with the "real estate" though not mandatory if you have the right guy."

Agreed, not always mandatory. Nine years ago I bought a very early set of High Port castings and we had a fellow named Rick McConathy do the port work. Rick was well known for his Chevy cylinder heads and was associated with Naiser Racing Components in Houston, Texas at the time. I believe now his business is Slick Rick Racing Heads. These guys were well known and very competitive in Texas Pro Stock Racing circles.

On the first go around the heads were 403 cfm at 0.800" lift, later with additional work 412 at 0.850" on Jeff Naisers flow bench. On my engine builders bench they went 417 cfm at 0.850" lift. Later with these cylinder heads our 930 hp 526 cid Pontiac engine was pretty good stuff, today it's no big deal. Same with the heads.

Like I said. Power is there. Everything else with the combo is a bit off.
