Car is sick.
I like those valve covers. Anyone know where you can get some like that without seeing a loan officer ?
Interesting oil filter too.

[Drag Star Le Mans]

Damn that is nice!

Good luck with it.

Dave was still running the car yesterday afternoon when I got in at 4PM.
I did stop over and talk to Dave & Derek for a bit before we opened the gates.
Man that car just gets up and goes! Very nice!

[Half-Inch Stud]

Nice touch with the 69 Valence with the rest being 1968. Mechanically fantastic !

Tons of hours and dollars there. I love seeing the one off parts and modern day design. Vmp is a couple hours from me. Will have to check it out. Thanks for posting this

Moroso makes valve covers that look very much like that without the breather tube of course. The heads look like Edelbrock pro-ports? Hard to tell. Car looks very nice. Looking forward to some numbers.

Thank you,
BES supplied the valve covers but I think they’re Moroso sheet aluminum. Clear view Oil filtration system with a system 1 reusable stainless filter.

Nice to meet you and thanks for stopping by. Hopefully you got to see the engine after the last test pass.

Let’s just say that after the 6 full passes on the car it will run with the top dogs in pdra super street with the 28x10.5 slick.

Thank you. Yes the heads are pro ports done by BES. After testing with the 28x10.5 we’re expecting to be a front runner in the pdra ss class.

So, it now seems you have one of the latest and greatest high HP real Pontiac drag cars. Select and expensive club and like Sickgoats 69 GTO the quality and attention to detail is astounding.
Can you give us horsepower estimate ? I know you might not want to give actual numbers , just the way it goes.
Solid cast block or billet ?
What kind of ignition do you run. I do not see a distributor in stock location or up front ?
I really like the fact you are running a RAIV/PMD style head.
Pontiac Power !

Yes very expensive lol. We had it on the dyno in December it made just over 2,000hp 1500tq @ 32lbs of boost with a single 88 on a very conservative tune. It’s a ia2 aluminum block, pro port e heads, electronics are all fueltech including the ft spark with coil on plug.
