What is the fastest car anyone knows of with a rpm intake manifold? I went a 10.41 @ 130.53 wed. nite at cecil county. I cant believe it pulled that much mph. Does anyone think a different intake will pick the car up? Its a 468,#16's,rpm intake,1 inch spacer,830 carb (pro systems rebuilt),turbo 350,3.55 gears,4400 10 inch converter. Car weighs 3420 with me.

Hell, I'd lend you an intake to try.

Cool, what intakes do you have? Alot of people say torker II , but im not sure. I guess trial and error. My brother has an original torker but im not sure how good that one is.

Wow thats hauling butt for sure dude!!! and without spray yet..
Is a 468 a punched out 455 or is it when you put a 455 crank in your 400.I was thinking of doing that 455 crank in my 400 thing.

My brother has gone 10.30, but not at that much MPH. How big of cam?

thanks. Its a 455 .035 over with a 4.25 stroke crank.
The cam is .630 lift and .266 - .272 at .050. The cam does not require a lifter bore brace. I wish my 60's were better, im only getting 1.52 to 1.54 and its really not spinning. Its a 10 inch 4400 ati which will work really good when I spray it, but on the motor it might need a tight 9 or 8 inch. What kind of setup does your brother run? Thats the e.t. im shooting for and I think I can get it with the rpm intake. I probably should have went up in jet sizes that nite and bumped the timing up to 34 or 35 degrees but the track was to crowded and didnt feel like messing with it since it was the first 3 runs on the motor. How much does your brothers car weigh?
see ya

He's saying do the math and realize how much HP it would take to push a car that heavy, to that MPH and then see its hardware and realize that either major surgery has been done to all parts or that we should be wearing our waders.

Was Badbird's car in one of the HPP shootouts before? I think it was running 10's without the spray there but Im not positive on that. I dont think it was 10.40's though. BTW Goatman awesome picture of your car launching against that chevelle

Thanks.

I'm not trying to really get into an argument here, although I'm sure I will. But, looking at what else is out there, one has to wonder about the validity of the claim.

I'm like heaven, everybody wanna get to me.........

"GOATMAN" - CHIEF PONTI-YACKER ---- "THANK YOU SIR" --- I see you are better then I am at expressing your self.......By my old fashion figures this guy would have to have 700 HP at the flywheel to run 130.53mph in a 3420lbs car at sea-level!!!!!!!!!! I'm 60 years old and have been around Drag Racing since 1959........I know the game and i understand the HORSE POWER to WEIGHT FIGURES & the ELEVATION CORRECTION FACTORS......Maybe where some of you race they are giveing out CORRECTED time-slips........I know there are some HIGH DOLLAR Super Stock PONTIACS running high 9's at 130 mph BUT: On this PY i thought we were talking about "GOOD" Bracket-Racing Motors-----Not high dollar pro-stock type cars that most of you are calling "STREET-CARS"------GET REAL........I thought PONTIAC RACING was us against them, not us against each other! Remember - this is just an OLE' MANS OPINION -- and OPINIONS are like ASSHOLES, we all got one, and in REALITY you can't get by with out one! nuff said! JOE

GUYS - I'm not try'n to argue, I just thought if we were try'n to help each other then lets deal with reality and keep both feet on the ground and give out good info to help the new PONTIAC guys get started on the rite track.....If in fact you got a D-Port PONRIAC natural aspired that weighs more then 3400-lbs and can run 130 mph, then i opolgize for my ignorance!...Remember, I'm talk'n about MPH.........Keep-on-Keep'n-on".... Joe

You know Joe, i was wondering about that myself, but i held back the desire to type up anything, i went to the track the other night and ran a
10.12@137 Mph on my little 1300cc Busa. Either hes putting down the power or maby he typed the numbers in wrong??
Wish i could go dat fast :P

Mike, put that big fat turbo on ur TA.

Joe Allan. You are dead wrong. Do your math again. http://forums.performanceyears.com/g...s/icon_mad.gif

It takes about 580 hp to go 130mph with 3400lbs. With the hardware listed, that is very possible to do. http://forums.performanceyears.com/g...s/icon_eek.gif

Nevertheless, I must say that´s impressive performance out of that combo. http://forums.performanceyears.com/g.../icon_wink.gif

Street ´69 Firebird. 3800 lbs with driver. 455 with D-ports. 275x50 drag radials. Stock suspension. 11.24s@124.2mph (motor only)10.42s@130.3mph (+150hpNOS)

I listen to the rapps put here and there is one thing being overlooked this past weekend was a had freak weather. I bracket race and you know how we hate screwdriveritis. Leave em alone and go rounds is the braketeers code. My car this past weekend ran a personal best just from the good air, and speed was up 3 mph???? For those who take racing serious and use weather stations and lived in horizontal middle slice of the country and actually raced this past weekend will tell that in some places the altitude went to 432' below sea level. I run an RPM and saw the pickup in speed without any marked increase in ET. Go figure. Gman you quoted your not looking to get into an argument here! Have you mellowed that much since Norwalk??? http://forums.performanceyears.com/g...on_biggrin.gif I'm not a mathamatician but I do race every dry weekend and there is always an anomoly you just have to say oh well and go on to next round. I call those runs, acts of God.
