Its a KRE record and thats it.I will bet that there isn't a single factory Pontiac part on that engine.It's a Pontiac(based) engine.I know I will get a bunch of slack for saying that but everyone knows that making that much hp N/A with any brand will take almost all aftermarket parts.
Congrats on the 7.37.

Quote by Cliff,
"What I've found from being in business for several years now, is that when we do something great, some folks will take notice, so once in a while expect a compliment. Screw something up, expect the hear about it at least 100 times....and...I'll leave you with this: While you are out there doing great things, if you suck one carp along the way, you will ALWAYS be known as a carp sucker!....FWIW....Cliff" Cliff, Cliff, Cliff, I keep telling you that is not the way that it is spelled. Think Rooster! Everything aside, Cliff's comment about seeing faster REDs every day at a typical bracket race is true. Take for example the SB Chebby that runs in Steve B's class out west. That little SB Chebby has pretty much had the field covered for the last few years. Steve B keeps trying and he apparently has the et record for a pontiac I think but in my mind that is like rewarding a kid because he can count to 100 when the rest of the kids are doing calculus. I guess every one has their small pond somewhere where they want to be the big fish. Now in those small ponds you will always have a few trash fish like the Carp Suckers that Cliff mentioned too. I wonder if Carp like Butter? JMO Tom V.

I can't be #1. I have a car.  That's why I asked? Glad I'm not included as I only made mention of the ET/MPH to hp to weight to chassis type deal which I feel is more important and shows one's ability. |

 I got to go do some more research on some parts I'm looking at getting and contact some friends about some suspension ideas I have. Racing is a great hobby and doing with a Pontiac is the best part.

Records are by which we have always set performance standards. My whole life since I was growing up my Dad always talked about the 4 minute mile in track and field. Or the 2 minute 1/2 mile. (I broke the second one, but not the first) One of my heros was Jim Ryan as a kid.
None of them are perfect, and Chevy guys always get the rules handed to them on a silver platter, but it is still a great standard to measure ourselves. Lynn |

Lynn the Chevy guys know where to direct their bitches to. Thats part of the reason the rules fall in their favor. If the sanctioning bodies listened to all the cryin that goes on here we'd be dominant!
Their are chevy guys who hate each other but they will defend them if its advantageous for them to do so. Doesnt seem that way here. It is like a bunch of old women sometimes, they still hold a grudge against that girl who "stole" their boyfriend 50 years ago and just wont give it up! They will do anything to make them "pay for it" forever regardless of how it affects themselves or others.

If Rex was running as fast as he is now on KRE parts, i wouldn't have a negative thing to say about him. Scott is a great guy and willing to help anyone. I don't have anything negative to say about smuland(sp). He's fast as hell and doing it with KRE parts. I've mention several times in other post that they have good heads ( HP's & DP's) which make great power. I don't hate the game I just dislike the player. Also in a previous post under this topic I mentioned that Kevin put together a good and fast combo. That in no way makes me think any more of him as a man! My "grudge" stems from what has happened since the block deal went down and what others have gone through with said venders. To often people get screwed and nothing gets done about it. I was always told to pic my battles and I felt this one was worth fighting and still do! I have countless e-mails and PM's from people in the same boat, but are scared to say anything. I have been racing car (Chevys &Pontiacs) for about 15 years. I have been screwed on many parts and some service . Well......... I got sick of it and took a stand. Too many venders and individuals hide behind: "well thats just racing and theres no warrenty" . Granted in alot of cases that is true BUT ITS NOT IN ALL CASES. I have decided for my own piece of mind and based on your last statement that i'm done. I have decided to stop talking smack about said venders on this board and others. I have always been pretty easy going and positive and your right, these kinds of post take a toll on me and other members. I will not however be giving up on the "battle". I just won't bring it here anymore. P.S. No Baker, this isn't the result of a registered letter

Does that mean that after 50+ years we can change the bore spacing on the block and still call it a Traditional Pontiac? Talking about "Old Women!" With a different bore spacing we could have a stronger aluminum block, we could have an even bigger cid cast iron block, we could have better air flow, etc, etc. Then we could set some et records that would match the Chebby and the Ford numbers.

D.I: I agree. Seems treating people right doesn't mean sh*t now-a-days. It's all about the BBD for themselves and as long as they haven't been jacked themselves who cares who else got bent over. I see it more and more over the years being in business.
Shame society has dropped to this level. Shame. The only one I know of that takes a constant rap and people seem to avoid is BF. Why is this? Maybe because his mouth and ethics run along the same line. Ya keep quiet and do people over then it's OK? |

If the MR-1 and IA-II could improve even more on the oiling and water cooling probably wouldn't need a stretched block?

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.
