I'm going to do something a little crazy and inject some facts.
The Gates engineer that interacts with the NHRA fuel teams told me that their blowers take about 1500 hp to run on the 10,000+ hp engines. So assuming a similar ratio, the Boss Bird roots blower took maybe 450 hp to spin. So it's not the most efficient way to make power but it certainly has the coolness factor and it plays well with nitro. For the record, I like all of the arguers (is that a word?) in this thread so I'm not taking sides. �� Eric

Imagine someone who is new to the forums but has a love for Pontiac’s.
They come across this thread and can’t believe how everyone is bashing each other instead of supporting everyone’s effort. I don’t understand why everyone is so confrontational. Isn’t the whole idea of a forum about Pontiac’s to help each other and to accept each persons personal effort? There is more than one way to make horsepower! There is not one way that’s the best for everyone. Not everyone needs to be the fasted Pontiac powered car ever. That’s not what it’s about!!! Those who belittle people who don’t meet their standards are only repressing those who do the best that they can. The whole point of this forum I believe is to encourage and assist like minded people to enjoy their Pontiac’s weather they race them or not. Why do some feel the need to be so negative? There is no upside to that. Is there?

Are we looking at Blower , either Roots style vs ProCharger vs single turbo or vs twin turbo? Are the No Prep rules allowing for a weight break when using a ProCharger vs Turbo due to the turbo cars using twins or single as well?

I'm not sure how everyone else thinks on this forum, but i'll tell you how I do...
I'm not interested in the "everyone gets a trophy" mindset...I feel there should be winners, and the rest should bust their butts to beat the winners...Its about challenging others to do more than they are doing, with the end goal being to raise the entire group of Pontiac racers...Young, or old, i'd like to see more passion in the group...Its hard to see that passion increase if everyone is patting each other on the back while saying "good job" when there is more left on the table... I have been involved in Pontiacs since 1984, and have never been stressed over shiny paint jobs on restored cars...I've only cared about how fast the thing is...If me poking at George upsets anyone(other than George), then something tells me that the person probably doesnt view the performance side of all of this, the same as I do...My intent isnt even to upset George, it is to push him to turn it up and lower the ETs when he lights the scoreboards at the next race... |

I know you have motivated me........im going too spend $5,000 dollars to upgrade to go quicker. Now you need to tell this to Chief, he's kinda been stuck at the same power level for a long time, while others have stepped up in his class....just saying. PS......i did get a trophy for runner up in the Quick 16 on Sunday..........im sending it back....not a winner! Thank You! GTO George |

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.
