I didn't have many brain cells to start with but I'm pretty sure I've lost a few reading this...
Pontiacs are a novelty in the race world of today.. they are only competitive ( as Langer said) under small block rules and will never be in the hunt at the top levels..
Even under said rules, you have to have deep pockets to compete and win... I can't even imagine the money Langer has spent to develop the program he has.. most likely, my pension, 401k and SSC benefits...

Do you consider the all billet piece, from Visner, to still be a Pontiac?

My take is this, as long as it's a stock bore spacing, I can get on board with it being Pontiac.. don't care about the head layout.. Pontiac did make a RAV so heads with that layout fit..
Not that my opinion matter..

What do you think some of those can do with some money behind them? A max effort combo.

Chase a Proline down the track.. Do you think a Pontiac at the same weight and ci could compete with Ron Rhodes on a 275? Hell he's the second fastest SmallBlock out of BES's shop.. the fastest is a grudge racer with a small block ford called "The Silversurfer".. according to Tony B..
