Video of my 7.75 @ 178 pass at Pontiac Heaven
Here's a link to a video taken by Jack Johnson. He introduced himself to me later that day and offered to copy the video for me. Great guy and he owns several Pontiacs! Paul Carter of Koerner Racing Engines put the video up on U-Tube.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iez3...ature=youtu.be This was my first pass off the Trailer on Friday, running one to one on the blower. I found out later looking at the Racepak data that I was on the upper rev limiter for almost a second at the end of the pass. Jim

Did a very nice job EVEN with the 11:00 start (vs 12:00) start and the 100 feet of rubber demonstration. Still ran a great time at less than ideal air. Congratulations. Obviously the car is capable of even quicker times. Keep after it.

Well, that made my day. Woke up to 2" of snow in Southern Ohio! Clicking on that video, melted it away. Certainly a 7.70 or better run with a straighter launch. Car looks, sounds, and runs great.

There is more in it. Sounds great.
I have not been around big centrifugal cars. Do they have that 'blower surge" like roots cars do ? |

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.
