Back in 1982 when I bought my 69 GTO I went to a local shop and asked him "how do I make this thing go faster? " He told me "put a BBC in it". I turned around and walked out, never spoke to him again.
Went out and found High Performance Pontiac magazine and looked at the adds.

I found Nunzi
Rons Pontiac.
Bethel,s Goat Farm.
Rock and Roll Engineering.
Crane Cams.
Comp Cams
Jim Taylor.
Whitmore Engine Service. Dan became my Pontiac mentor.
Jim Butler. (Dan was his first machinist)
And H-O Racing.

Bought catalogs from Rons, Nunzi, R&RE, Jim Butler and became friends with Dan
And still have My H-O Racing catalog, Torker Tuning Secretes, HD parts and Specs books. And worn the Pete McCarthy SS book to pieces.

Good times.
And still hate Chevy,s in Pontiacs.
Yep i know who ken is. As far as i understand, he has retired. I guess i feel like i dont want to bother him. He has probably been asked the same silly questions a million times. I dont want to drive anybody away by pming ect. He is a member here, and re already responded in this thread. He may come around again. I am grateful for the guys that have been i for the long haul to still come here to the forum. . I am appreciative for anyones opinion.
