But for the sake of being extra safe, it will have the 50/50 mix on the street and mostly VP 110 leaded when I'm running it hard on the track. Eric

Nice build!
What it the height with the High Ports and Northwind/Dominator under the hood? Scoop on the hood?

I dont think other makes realize the instant torque of a Pontiac. I would think coming off a corner would be very telling. If you ever come to Beaver Road course in Pa. near Beaver Falls I'd like to be there.

Formerly Beaver Run? Raced motorcycles there many years ago, soon after it was built. Back then facilities were minimal but the track was excellent.

I built a 350 Pontiac for a circle track guy and he was killing all the 350 Chevy guys. For two years in a row he was Champion and then the sanctioning body made it mandatory to run a 350 Corporate engine. They said it was to keep costs down but I know he had less money in that Pontiac than most of those Chevy guys. They spent more more and got way less torque... and trophies!
Pontiac's Rule!

Mine have a 2.20 valve and with a little bowl work they go 352cfm @ .700 and 359cfm @ .800 lift. So they are done just past .700 lift in my case. I will be looking forward to hearing about your guys latest Pontiac effort. Can you put up a vid of the engine so we can hear how it sounds ? |

I believe so never been there. From net track looks nice. My good Pontiac friend Gary lives near there. John Labuda (56 Pontiac gasser at Norwalk) races his Fiero there. John says he helped there to get his' feet wet'. I always wanted to road race always(Herb Adam's ,Chaparrals). Drag was cheaper.
ELarson are you running leaf spring rear suspension? I still have that 74 good TA shell. |

Good Job Eric, and team. I will have to come and watch you race at a event in Michigan or Ohio.

Just curious, what LSA is the camshaft, and did you try a spacer on the intake?

You should be able to get some sort of air :filter in there if you build a custom base. If you were running a Victor, not a chance. When I switched mine from a Victor to the Northwind the clearance difference was pretty drastic. Highports are great but that extra 1/2" in intake height they add is a pain. Edit: With highports, Victor, and Dominator

Eric, it ought to be fun watching the faces of all the LS guys when you out accelerate them out of the curves! With that torque curve you could stay in fourth or third most of the time.

Tim wanted to do 112 LSA to give a broader power curve. But there were no cores available at the time so he reground an old cam that I had and could only get 108 LSA out of it. The dyno numbers look pretty broad on this one, but I'll put it on the track and see how it feels. Didn't consider a spacer since I'm already in a bind on shaker clearance. Eric

so the HEI had spark scatter for reluctor driving the MSD-6: whether 1-side grounded or twin wire balanced into the MSD-6, i figure electrical interference.
..just not an HEI without the 4-pin Module. Giving a full-up HEI a chance without the MSD-6 might be nice. Aside from the dizzy stuff, the rest of the build is super. Last edited by Half-Inch Stud; 03-10-2023 at 11:23 PM. |
