Had lunch with punisher1 today and had a steak, he paid for the meal
 And at the table was his brother and a close friend of ours, both of which are heads-up 10.5 nitrous racers.

235 hard nitrous passes
4 area championships 20+ wins and ZERO burned pistons with the pontiac engine from 2007-2009 using my own tune-ups NITROUS DOESN'T KILL MOTORS, POOR TUNE-UPS KILL MOTORS. it doesn't matter how fast it is, it will ALWAYS be faster with a little help in the right place.

I can officially have a "Steak Dinner" with each Boost Vendor every 3 months.
There are several of them that I deal with: Borg Warner, Garrett, Vortech, Gale Banks, Paxton, Whipple, MHI, IHI, John Meany (Big Stuff3) as well as other smaller companies. Never had any of them send me Omaha Steaks but have had all of them take me out for very nice lunches over the years. Banks like Mexican. The Vortech/Paxton Guys like eating at the Dearborn Inn and having steaks, John Meany likes the food at JOBOs. Several liked to dine at Henry Ford's Home in the "Pool Restaurant" (but that is closed now for restoration). I would think that the "Gov-ment Jobs" you do would have Omaha Steaks, nice hotel rooms with HRH "Hot Running Hookers" and tubs full of beer for you and champagne for the "ladies", John. Tom Vaught

Exceeding 1100 hp is just tooooooo scary. Nobody should try that.
FYI: our engine builder is us. Eric Last edited by Elarson; 12-11-2011 at 01:36 AM. |

In the past, the piston company had them delivered well before Christmas, the engine builders not so much.

I don't think John "hates" them, Eric...he's just stirring the pot.

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.
