perhaps a better head choice with a different valve arrangement would help.

That's interesting.....When I was running a bracket cv-1 motor and winning a lot of races everyone told me it wasn't about winning it was about going fast.


And Jeff V kills it everywhere he races NOWAY anyone can take that away from him. I'm sure PJ will put him in a upcoming song





The super classes are getting faster and faster do you want to keep looking over your shoulder at 150+ looking at "snap shots" going down the track loosing site of the stripe or would you rather watch the movie in front of you keeping the race in front of you the whole time so you never lose sight of your opponent or the stripe?

Pontiac engines are good as long as you don't go crazy and try to exceed 3000 hp. Just gotta be reasonable

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.
