I read that article immediatley. Seems pretty strait up, and while suprising i believe it. Now i just want both instead of just the superduty to go with my other Pontiacs.

I think the interesting thing is that the 429hp/544tq still only put the car at a 12.88 time.

I don't have my issue in front of me, but I know the S/S Poncho racers I've talked to are always sacrificing TQ to cheat the HP further up the rpm range...the higher powerband lets them take advantage of steeper gears...

Not to bad mouth a GM product. Pontiacs are cool but McCarthey on the Super Stock website says Pontiacs make great torque but have issues with motor RPM acceleration. It can't get out of its own way after a certain point. Jack loves his Pontiacs but has that engineering Super Stock side of him.

Here is the forum that I was refering to about the engine acceleration of the Poncho. For what it's worth????????
