About 5 years into my absence I bought a Wenzler 1st design tunnel back when it first came out as I was excited to see something new like that made for a pontiac...shortly thereafter I saw he came out wiht an improved tunnel--the Gustram. Well after all these years so many things have cam available for Pontiacs in the aftermarket...pretty unbeleivable...so much stuff that we can now be within a second of pretty much any other make on an engine in the same class of mods.

I am going to start a thread asking about the Wenzler 1st design tunnel and would like reference to cars running or that have ran this manifold ...basically what is the fastest car you have seen running this manifold and with what cam/head combo. Having never even had a chance to run my new/now outdated manifold I would like to give it a try at least, and would also like to receive subjective experienced input on the manifolds design defeinency etc and hear examples of comparisons to other manifolds ie swap and tests etc

But for now, in order for me to be able to follow the race forum, I feel I must first learn what EHTTFMF! means. I may be missing out on a great Pontiac power secret... as I notice some of the fastest guys here reference it with great regularity.

Thanks in advance..looking forward to understanding EHTTFMF!,

I watched the video in your sig, and I wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed it! We did the same thing you did back in the day. We would bolt on street tires and drive the to the track because we were broke, and every penny we could scrape up went into the car we racing. We usually raced on local 1/8 mile tracks, but I drove a low 11 sec Camaro over 100 miles to a track once because it was closest 1/4 mile track to where we lived. We had 4 people in car (because we all pitched in for gas), a jack, an air pig, a small tool box, a 4 way lug wrench, a pair of slicks in the trunk, and a prayer the car didn't break! Those were the days!

That video brought back lots of memories, so thanks for that!
