More direct and to the point; no, why would you? A Q-Jet works at least as well, maybe better, and is period correct, but it takes mechanical aptitude to make it work. Sorry, bad day! Stewart

Done Q jets, done Quick fuel's, done tri-powers...
I want something with modern features, yet period correct engine. That is why I want to build a nice little 496 Pontiac make it fuel injected, and put a TKO 600 behind it.

I had it on the 74 Vette I built. I was running a high compression L-82 punched out to 355ci with the full Edelbrock build package, heads, cam, and dfi, it dynoed out at just under 400hp on premium street gas. The engine was fantastic to drive. Here are the advantages.
You send Edlebrock your build specs and they send you a baseline chip, this chip is close enough to get you running. Then you begin tuning from there, the best way to tune is on a dyno, but if you have the time you can tune it by driving. What is really sweet is you can record three different sets of fuel and ignition maps. I had one set for racing, one set for the street, and one set for emissions. You have alittle controller that sits in the passenger compartment that you use to switch between the maps or to fine tune them. Because you have so much control of the a/f and ignition maps you can run a full point to 1.5 points extra compression without detonation. The other nice thing is it looks almost stock. I will see if I have some pictures laying around. If you decide to try it let me know and I will be happy to lend any experience I can. Best regards, Harry

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.
