For the record, My best ET to date is [email protected] weighing 2400lbs. Anyone with a sim program can plug that data into a 1600lb dragster and see how it comes up.

Scott, I think if we put your motor in a 1600lb red, you would be knocking on the door of the quickest Pontiac (NA or boosted) 1/4 to date. BES has managed to get the most power out of a Pontiac to date. Thats not a point of debate, its simply a fact.

Not wanting to start a fight - but those numbers are very optomistic -- the faster you go - the need for power gets exponetial -- Im thinking that motor My do a 6.8 or 6.9 in a digger - just my observation.

Scott R, I've got one of them there lighweight Rear Engined Dragsters that you could put your engine in to see what it would run.

Another part of that is that the guy's currently running fast with the TIGER head or E-head would have to change to many parts to upgrade. We need to take little steps not huge ones.Unfortunetly none of us have sponsors and cannot just go lay down large amounts of money every time something new comes along. I am not sure if my newest port design will ever come about though. It seems like there is just not enough demand for such a high end head, but that's not going to stop me or anyone else from pushing forward and making it bigger and better.
This debate just got good here in the last couple of post's with everyone finally relating weight to power. Yes low 7 second passes are impressive even at 1800 lbs , but low sevens are even more impressive at 2300 lbs. NHRA prostocks are some of the fastest normally aspirated cars in the world with 500 cu. in. and weigh 2350. Us old traditional Pontiac die hards are gaining on the latest most advanced engines in NHRA history and we are doing it with basically 30 + year old technology. To me,that is way COOL.

Since we are talking about making power here - I take it from your coments that you have a 500 cfm port - that is based on the tiger head -- so where is it ?? whats the deal ? - and at 500 cfm - over 540 cid that is the normal max available for us -- it would seem that we would need to be near pro stock rpm to make it really "work" Inquiring minds want to know ?

Realistically I think Scott's engine would be good for 6.90's on average in a light dragster.

Mr Langer You said KRE wasn't even in the top five how come you are not in this list you probably can't make the top 20 . There are five KRE cars in the top 11 on this list and Stallion will be close to the top before the year is over. You won't come to Norwalk because you are just another 8.5 second door car their it's not the John Langer show anymore you are just one of the pack .IF YOU DON'T LIKE THIS POST TOUGH YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE STARTED IT.
KEN
HAVE A GREAT DAY
Ken, Thanks for the kind words. I am trying to be with the really fast guys. I hope Norwalk will be the place. Don't forget Jimmy Jemmal 8:08 @ 168 with a 400 block N/A and of course my son Michael 8:28 @ 165 with a 400 block N/A.

I suspect you will be right up there Maurice! Even if your not the fastest one out of the pack, you will definately have the coolest ride!

John, sorry but I still do not know if your motor is N/A or Sprayed. IF it is N/A thats fast. Nice combo,it works great. On your 73 post, if your chassis, just your chassis costs a little over $100,000.00, than your car costs more than my car, an /07 RJ Pro Stock GTO. Not how much money you have put into the car over the years,what it is worth now.

wow intersting thread.but before gas gets to 5 bucks a gallon,and since we have 2 months to norwalk, why doesnt everyone just go to the pontiac nationals and see whos the fastest,frantic four, quick sixteen and so on.plus since most of it is bracket racing doesnt really matter about hp.its how consistent you and your car are anyway, i dunno maybe i see too much talk,too many excuses and not enough action.besides talkin smack with a keyboard isnt much fun,face to face is wayyyy better

Scott R., I do not understand (The farm boys in Ohio) is that the Kauffman's you are referring to. FARM as in FARMING, I guess their clam is, the boys from Ohio that farm after market Pontiac parts for us dumb city boys, that makes our race cars go alot faster. That is a great complement from you Scott, to the Kauffman's,if that is who you are referring to!!! Great reputation with me AND I am in the KNOW you KNOW. Scott just to clarify, when you ran T/S in New Jersey, you ran that 7.38 on Thursday's OPEN Test n Tune but when you were qualifying for the Top Sportmans race you only ran 7:49(?) on the qualifying sheet, am I correct. Thats fast!!!
