If he was scared it was only because your junk lost another part of the car every pass....... no gas...... no battery....... next pass you might have tree'd him and then lose a rear wheel.........FUCK ALL THAT JAZZ! I wouldn't want to run into a wheel going down the track!

As I recall, I treed him the second pass by .02. Not bad considering we went pro tree and I was foot braking vs his trans brake. If my transmission would have shifted from 2nd to 3rd he would have been owned. He knew it, that is why there wasn't a 3rd race. You can't blame him, I guess.

I'm all Pontiac so the Chevy/Ford change will never happen. I know I have a long way to go. But, the Pontiac world has came a long way in the last 4 years. We now have two sets of heads that flow 400cfm out of the box and one of those has canted valves. Back then all I had to work with were Edelbrock heads that were based after a stock RAIV head. My heads only flowed 330 cfm and I had probably the smallest solid roller known to man (I bought it for a cast iron head combo).lol There are guys in the Pontiac world running what Andrew is running now on motor. So it isn't that far out of reach to run with him. I might try to run with him for revenge sake, but I have my eye on some other classes as well. Time will tell.

The new CV1 heads really level the playing field for pontiac guys, who have been suffering along with "performer RPM" class heads for years. How many ford guys are running "performer RPM" heads into the 5's? Thought so.

Now, this new performance comes at a cost and chad is probably going to have to put in some overtime to pay for parts :p

Me? Still soldering along with a stock rod stock block engine put together 20 years ago, because I have kids and they are sucking every dollar out of my wallet :o Still, I manage to eke out a tenth here and a tenth there..... When those stock rods finally let go i'll be done for a LONG time....

The CV-1's will cost me about the same as I paid for the cnc ported E-brocks. Not to mention they will flow about 70 more cfm and have heart shaped CC.

What were they on? What was your combo? (ie. compression, ci, cam, what shot of n20, flow #'s) I don't know much about the chevy stuff, but the Pontiac rpm head was based after a stock RAIV head. I don't have any doubts that my car would have went 5.70-5.80 with minor adjustments on the suspension and some seat time(I only had 3 n20 passes and none of them went right)lol

Marty palbykin made 1600hp on ported OEM 260cfm iron pontiac d ports. My point is that for the AVERAGE weekend warrior the edel RPM does not even register on the scale as a performance head. Now I know that a few have made them work (greg - grayhourse and apparently orangechevyII), but many choose other heads - why?.

And that the pontiac guy's selection has been limited to this class of head up until recently (365 cfm wideport). I just wish I had the wallet to build something right now, it is very frustrating to be stuck on the sideline :mad: :o

Be glad you have something that runs. The difference between the Pontiac RPM head and the Chevy/Ford RPM head is the R&D. There was none on the Pontiac head. It is just an aluminum stock head with the exception of about 15cfm.

Well, it beats trying to find a set of OEM RAIV heads and paying out the ass for them :)

There is no R&D on the pontiac stuff from edelbrock. Many have begged them to make a "victor" style head and they refuse to do so, or hell even to update the combustion chamber design on their existing heads (heart shaped - not). Thankfully. roland racing, KRE, and allpontiac are stepping up to fill the void.

I just wish I could play :(

Oh, I agree. When E-brock made them they were the best thing out there. I think it also got alot of people to see that there was a good market for aftermarket heads and it helped bring more R&D and products out. I'm not knocking the RPM heads for the Pontiac. My heads had alot left in them. I am just saying that basically the Ford/Chevy guys have alot more R&D and better choices then what at the time we had.

Honestly, I believe that e-brock enabled the performance industry we have now. Before e-brock there was only RAIV heads and 62-63 sd rods, and the occasional SD 455 piece. IMO e-brock ignited the pontiac industry we see now. And I do believe that your combo had some left in it.

Yep, after the E-brock heads came the eagle rods, cranks, IA block and we were sitting pretty. Now we have RPM heads, KRE D-ports, High Ports, MR1 Block, MR1-a Block, CV-1, Tiger, IA-II, IA-II aluminum, Wenzler High Ports, Super Chiefs, Butler Aluminum RAIV heads, with talk of a RAV head, and a Splayed valve head. Not to mention Billit and Forged cranks. Things picked up after the e-brocks that is for sure.

I told you I can hook you up with some nos RAIV heads if you want some but I would like to see how much punishment that 455 of yours is going to take before it blows up. Hopefully it will go before mine :( :o

the e-heads i have are basically copies of the RA-IV head in aluminum with a few improvements; actual RA-IV heads would not help any. Really, there is no reason for anyone to run an iron RA-IV style head anymore unless they have a restored vehicle with an actual RA-IV engine in it. But at one time the RA-IV head was all we had.

Which car are you talking about? his son just got of the 7's with a new set of edelbrocks in his 455 Trans-am its gone a 6.51 i belive from last years 7.0's his car is just over 3400lbs and the gto is 3400 i belive. The 511 went a best of 6.21 i belive so far but were having trans issues and it hasent really been tuned on yet nor have we gotten enough passes to really work with it cause everything else keeps breaking and we havent really pushed it to its prime yet, the motor should hold over 8000rpm but i think he is just shifting at 6000 for now but its not bad for a 3400lb goat. should run some mid 9's in the quarter when its working right.

When I was running the E-brocks they were basically the only thing out unless you wanted to spend a butt load of money trying to get some wenzlers to work. I would love to run some Tiger heads, but the Tiger heads and intake will cost about 6-7k with out port work. I am leaning towards getting the CV-1's, They flow about 10cfm less out of the box, but I think they will make more power than the Tigers will, because of the superior port design. Plus, they only cost about $3200.00. Also, the CV-1 will work on a stock block if needed, and I can run a hyd roller cam.

I think the All pontiac will be coming down on their prices of the Tigers once they see everyone is buying CV-1. The only reasons I would go with a Tiger over the CV-1 is if I was running in a class that doesn't allow canted valves and because they look like traditional Pontiac heads. Other than that I think the CV-1 is going to make a more power.

So are you ever going to get you another Pontiac? I can't stand seeing your old car in someone elses avatar (py board). :( Are you saying, "I wish I wouldn't have sold it." :D

You're talking like your "little ole tired worn out 200K mile motor" makes as much power as my "fresh pro mod beast". When in fact, it wasn't even close. I probably made more power (or very close) n/a than you do on the hose.

You need to check the power to weight ratios of our cars, and you will understand what I mean by "not in the same class".

No i've never said anything about power. How fast it gets down the track is all that matters. If i can do it with a 302 and a some weight savings, saving thousands of $$$'s that's what i'll do.
I'll sell the 302 for $7000 ready to run some .30's. How much you have in that beast of yours?

I am not kncking weight savings, I wish I could get my car that light. Just pointing out the differences in our cars and why they run the ET's they do. I do have alot of money in my car. It pisses me off that I never got a clean pass on the n2o to get a true best. But, that's racing. There are reasons my car only went 6.22, everyone can call them excuses if they want, but it is the truth.


Performance parts:
$4500.00 Intake, carb., n20, heads
1600.00 Machine work & bearings
750.00 Pistons, rings, wrist pins
450.00 headers
500.00 converter
850.00 Cam, lifters, pushrods, rockers


That is the main stuff I bought in the last build. I am sure there is more stuff I am not thinking about. You don't think of all the little stuff but that stuff adds up real quick.lol Also, keep in mind 95% of the stuff I bought was new and Pontiac stuff probably costs double what it would cost for SBF. Plus, it is hard to find aftermarket stuff used for Pontiacs, or believe me I would have bought it. If you count non-performance parts God only knows how much i have into it...after all it is a 1973 model.lol

I think the All pontiac will be coming down on their prices of the Tigers once they see everyone is buying CV-1. The only reasons I would go with a Tiger over the CV-1 is if I was running in a class that doesn't allow canted valves and because they look like traditional Pontiac heads. Other than that I think the CV-1 is going to make a more power.

So are you ever going to get you another Pontiac? I can't stand seeing your old car in someone elses avatar (py board). :( Are you saying, "I wish I wouldn't have sold it." :D


I miss it but have moved on; I told him if he decided to sell to give me a call about 6 months back. I will help my dad out on his and see how it goes from there. His should be pretty good, not 100% what I would build. Dad always has some different parts/styles he would like over mine. It should be decent, I would think it will run 10.40-9.80 N/A all day on pump gas but we will see.

I bought an 06 (orange of course) Vette for now to hold me over, the Honda was killing me in the power department even being as "SI". I do miss not having an old muscle car though, or cruising around in one.

What were they on? What was your combo? (ie. compression, ci, cam, what shot of n20, flow #'s) I don't know much about the chevy stuff, but the Pontiac rpm head was based after a stock RAIV head. I don't have any doubts that my car would have went 5.70-5.80 with minor adjustments on the suspension and some seat time(I only had 3 n20 passes and none of them went right)lol


461 11:1 compression, 716/725 lift cam on a 112 with the 4/7 firing swap that TotenaBIGstick had built for me. 1050 Bill Mitchell Dom. and the Rhere Morrison 454 Victor R intake. 2 speed glide and a 3200 Art Carr 9" converter with 4.10's in the back. The heads were "out of the box stock", nothing fancy at all. Trust me, I dont know of 1 person who said the heads would work or support the power they were making. The motor made 650 or so on motor and the cam built for the juice worked well. I had a 250 shot on it when it went a 5.69 at 124 with a 1.27 60ft. Never made a full pass on both kits,I know it it would have went .50's if I could have made all the plugs stay in it with the 2nd stage on it. The Nova weighed in at 3275!

I almost called Edelbrock to see if I had some kind of record with their heads, no joke. Everybody who would come by and check the car out in the pits would point them at and say holy shit.

As far as the comment goes about stepping up to better heads, I did. But for a 1500 set of heads they were some bad ass heads.
