The 428 is my favorite for street driving: more torque than a 400, but not so much that street tires have no chance off the line. And it still likes to rev.

I'd make a template of the 670 combustion chamber outline and digitize that to mill a dish exactly that shape into the pistons which will maximize quench, which in turn reduces octane dependency.
Not disagreeing with you but always willing to learn, explain how you would "maximize quench". I understand the Mirror Image of the combustion chamber part. Seems like you would need a Gas Ring sealing plan vs a off the shelf cometic type gasket.

About Us

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.
