Visner recommended cross bolt mains on a Pontiac over 2,500 hp but would make one without. It was a couple grand difference.

hell the way the world is turning currently......steel anything will be obsolete soon. I can't wait to see a titanium crankshaft!!!
While I can appreciate the machining and certainly know whats involved with the programming stuff too, I would be more impressed if i saw some old dude standing beside a Bridgeport knee high in chips.

A YEAR OR MORE TO GET THE PART. CNC means quick delivery. CNC means the guy writing the program knew what he was doing prior to turning the CNC machine on. CNC means holding good tolerances but not necessarily tolerances to within .0002" on the crankshaft. Most would not have the patience to go down that path. There is a place for steady and slow vs CNC quick and still very good in some cases. When NASCAR was young, Mr Bob Gillian and his 20 guys grinding crankshafts after they were forged by Kellogg was the way to go. Joe Flowers is a 3 man shop. Tom V.

Now if you took the aero out of the required equation and the loss thru the tire driving the typical dual rolls or 67 inch single drum type dynos, that 5500 number might change a bit upward. Example: no aero, no tire, hub dyno, who can say what the number actually is on the track. Really just running a pre-dragstrip Tuning/ Durability test. Tom V.

Might be something as simple as the CNC machine they own cannot make a skirted block
with the model they have. (Not enough travel) or it might be exactly like you posted.) Not going there. Tom V.

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. Tom V. 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.

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. Tom V.

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.
