Back on Pontiac Engines again. Pontiac engines with boost can make the same power or more than say the Old Ford 302/347/351W which for years dominated the Power Adder classes in the NMCA, etc drag racing events. They have more cid and less need for high rpm. 95% of the Pontiac guys would be happy with a solid 8 second car that would be easy on boost and on rebuilds. Pro Bird comes to mind. Problem is you need the KRE or All Pontiac type blocks to run there consistently. Not so much the heads as Chief proved that deal many times.
