As many know, Chief runs a smaller engine than you, you both run alcohol, he runs a bit more boost vs your "large engine low boost" combination and runs low sixes and you run high 7s. It is all about the combination. Just to remind you Marty went into the 6s in 1996 with a 406 engine 1600 hp engine, and 30 psi of boost, (not 50 psi of boost) and he had less money in his engine than you have in your Roots blown engine, modified fabricated Pontiac Tunnel Ram intake, 3.75 stroke crank, cast iron heads, and a very basic (early design) fuel injection. His two throttle bodies flowed less air vs your twin dominators but made more power. Tom Earhart is in the Motorsports Hall of Fame. His dyno was deadly accurate on many dyno tests, (Ford even contracted to run some tests on it) so if he said Marty's engine made 1600 hp, the number was accurate no matter how you want to spin it in your mind. Facts speak louder vs BS. Tom V.

I only am running 12-13 lbs of boost (this year a bit more with a more EFFICIENT 8-71), my engine is made to go 9,10,11,12 passes "a day" if needed.....it'll run 7.90's without a sweat at 170. I do buy the BEST parts because I don't want it to break, can't go rounds and WIN Races if its on the trailer! Chief runs BIG time boost and Nitro in his fuel cell.....FACT! My old Jurassic 8-71 takes a lot of HP to spin and isn't very efficient but its what I choose to run. As for Marty i guarantee you I've put more passes on my engine/car then he has ever.......hense the MORE money. 20 lbs of boost more is 600 HP or so difference and he made what? LOL! Nice Try!

No one cares about the BS comments made by big ego people. Been working on my 671 blown Safari, always looking at others who run roots blowers for ideas. Don’t care about turbos, don’t care about making maximum HP, don’t care how fast my car goes, don’t care how fast anyone else ran, just love roots blowers and that’s what I want. Period. Rob

Just got my car recerted, kinda funny how he wanted to check a couple of bars even though he was the one that vetted my car last time. My wife and I will replace the valve seals this weekend. All I’m waiting on is my high helix supercharger. First race is Memorial weekend.....a 3 day bracket race with a Quick 8 thrown in!

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.
