Holy crap, stop the presses...You mean evolution, in cylinder heads, applies to Pontiacs just like it does every other brand in existence??? Who would've even thunk it????

I bet you guys didnt know that the HEI isnt the best ignition anymore either...Bias ply tires have been replaced on most fast cars too...And lets not even begin to talk about improvements done to make better race fuels and oils...LOL...Some just live to run down things.

Some just live to run down things.

That's the problem with some here.
Anytime there is new innovation in our Pontiac world, these guys have to blast it.
No experience with it but they'll slam it forever, without seeing the progress it has made.
They'll just revive old prejudices they have and try to 'shout' louder with their posts thinking they are winning.

Got tons of options for cylinder heads in the Pontiac world that's for sure!!!
Now if someone could just get it past their mind to let the evolution of Pontiac bore spacing grow so Pontiac guys could run Real Cubic inches that would be great!!!

People have cheated with bore spacing games (one hole up - one hole down) for bigger bores but Pontiac People seem to be the only ones who care about that bore spacing deal vs the rest of the automotive world. Everyone else "saw the light" and changed, Pontiac kept the bore spacing (from the original engine to the last 455 engine) so Pontiac People need to hold on to that one specification.
Kind of Like I wore a red shirt the first time I met my wife so I always have to wear a red shirt on my anniversary day, pure nostalgia and nothing more. Stupid really from a performance aspect to hinder your abilities to build a better engine.

Thank You Mr Butler for having chebby rod bearing cranks and chebby length PERFORMANCE connecting rods in a Pontiac engine.

Jason,
I have never seen anywhere else someone (other than Pontiac people) say it is not are brand head because my stock valve cover will not bolt on. Much less you want to change bore spacing.

Right!
The heads up guys are having great success with there pro charger or twins on the standard Pontiac bore space block....the handful of them.....The NHRA/IHRA super class guys are continuing to make the switch to the big blocks because of the cubic inches and lower cubic dollar amount to run as fast or faster than their old Pontiac set ups.with a lower operating cost and the FAST/QUICK turnaround time to get parts!

To me it's whatever floats their boat at this time I just wonder what the avg age of the Pontiac racer is?

Let's not even talk about that.
