This pump gas Pontiac will hold its own against a lot of LS cars. It made 659 RWHP using 93 octane. It got 14 mpg and I'm sure it'd do better with over drive and a well tuned Q-jet. It also ran well into the nines in street trim. What kind of times did the LS example you gave turn? |

There are people getting a 1000hp boosted out of what I would call regular LS engines. We know there are people running 10's and better out of stock bottom end LS's but when they blow they just get another jy bottom end and go back to the track. But that's not me is all.

I propose that the moderator move this to another forum. This is a backhanded attempt to prove Pontiacs are better than LS. As already stated, fishing post.

I've seen Hellcats run low elevens and faster. Not sure if out running a stock Hellcat with a built to chit LS would be impressive or not |

My point is that he doesn't really give a **** about 500 cubic inch LS engines. He wants to prove that Pontiacs are better (Like always). But I will take the suggestion and stay away. Have fun.

Even Butler is doing LS's now get with the program... And LS's do not need to be built to chit to beat a Hellcat!

At 60mph, it lit up the tires... Once I grabbed traction, I walked 5 cars on him... hard to swallow for ya but that's what happened. Never lost a race with the car.. I just sold it 2 weeks ago with the intent to be responsible... ( been 190mph in the car) ... Now I'm looking at a several C6 ZO6 cars... 1000lbs lighter.. found several making 1000hp at the wheels... Pontiac much? |

Maybe post it in the Race Section. Title it, "Help Paul prove that Pontiac engines are better than LS". Maybe you could just keep posting LS engines are easy to beat like you did in another of your LS bashing posts.

After 650-700HP on the street is traction game....Anything in that arena lights the tires at 70mph. You need a prepped track after that.

Obviously then you have nothing worthwhile to add to this thread so concentrate on the threads you can contribute to or have interest in learning from. That's what these Websites are for.

I've been on here a long time and I know Paul's experience with Poncho's BUT if he is building LS's too then he's just stirring the pot because he knows better...

I'm not sure if the power level needs to be that high before it becomes "useless" for a street vehicle. A larger CID will help you get the "crazy fast" street car level easier and usually remain more driveable. It's also impressive at the cruise nights to have the "big" engine under the hood. I recall having a bunch of foreign exchange students shocked that I had a 7.6 litre engine in my 80 TA. They had never seen an automobile engine half the size, where ever they were from.
