Wow nothing like Pontiac torque!!!
Man oh man, its nice to feel HP again. Its been about 10 months since driving my 1968 Firebird I race but is mostly stock. I just installed a dual stage nitrous big shot to it but cant use it yet but. This 400 for what it is just flys!!! At 20 miles an hour it will fry the tires( 275 50 15s BFG DRadials) when I hit 2nd it frys till I hit drive. This is about 60!!! Talk about fun!!!! Cool temps outside are making it real fun!!! At the track, the best I got out of it was 12.60 with a 0-60 ft in 1.67 seconds in 90 deg heat. In this cool temp it feels way better!! Next Saturday is the BOP drags so I hope to best that by at least a couple tenths without any mods, just cooler temps. I am actually really nervous to hit the 150 single stage shot as this is a stock 400 with 37 year old non ported heads and stock bottom end with TRW forged pistons as the only mod. I took it to the cruise in and gave it a quick jab of the throttle and the way the cars response is with the fast revs, they all thought I was running a small block!!!! Anyway, what a blast!!!!!! I even stopped and gave my neighbor a quick bonzi run and it freaked the crap out of him. He just sat inside the car when we got back to his house and asked a ton of questions and was smiling ear to ear. I thought I was use to it but as I am typing this I am grinning big time. And this is with no nitrous!!!!!!!!

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.
