It's just an opinion George. So what's urs on the deal? There are available blocks now that can handle current power levels to 3k or so for probably 1/3 the cost..what's the advantage of that block?

I’m going to talk to them first and once I talk to them I’ll come up with an opinion after the facts!
Really it doesn’t matter what some non-racers think!

Must be confusing this Scott Roberts with the Guy who had a Funny Car team racing a Pontiac some years ago. I would not call him a NON-RACER.
Just a racer that moved on, just like Eric and Mike have done with their Funny Car.

Having never driven/owned a Pontiac Funny car I would not be throwing rocks about being a non-racer.

If the Pontiac guy Mike is building the road race car and engine for goes into that field of racing,
is he suddenly a NON-RACER and knows nothing about DRAG RACING. Interesting.

So, who is Scott Roberts, and how does he compare to the Kauffman group?

I will match my USA, European, and Russian Patents against anyone on the PY board. I am happy to be that "Nobody" in the engineering world.
I like Fly Fishing Scott, no interest in drag racing.

KRE NEVER RAN A FUNNY CAR. ROBERTS DID

HERE IS THE VIDEO.

Here is a Youtube link on one of the pass of Scott's Funny Car at VMP on 03-07-09

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rP0J73amq3k

How fast? Fast enough to set a speed record.

Dave Wilcox was the driver. Ignore the guys in the peanut gallery.

KRE has or had a Pro Mod, Pro Stock type car, Alcohol Dragster (yes a few of them still hold Pontiac ET or MPH records).....KRE also has made a few things for Pontiacs........4 Cast Aluminum heads, 3 Billet aluminum heads, 3 Engine Blocks (Cast & Billet Aluminum, Steel Block), a few intakes.......my gosh the list goes on and on and on!

Why isnt there an ET and MPH included in that video? How does Scott being involved with a funny car make him superior to anyone else? What am I missing here?

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.
