Gonzo is right on saying that 12.9-13.1 for RA4 A bodies is right. I had planned on certifying my 69 RA4 GTO,but did not get it done until Tues before the race. This car is done to nhra spec,absolutely zero porting,and a factory camshaft,not a nhra legal cam,but a factory cam(DOG BELOW 3000 RPM),best et first time out13.11 at 111.00.This is what a nhra blueprinted 4 will go with a 4-speed.Not nearly as quick as LS-6.I think that an automatic could run 12.7,s in pure stock condition in a GTO. Mino has consistantly always ran good when the Chevs were not.Bottom line is that the Pontiacs with a RA 4 will run almost dead even with an LS-6,Which was rated 80 horsepower stronger,and had 54 cubic inches more!!!Why couldn,t Pontiac have built a 455 cid,11.1,Ram Air 4 engine in a 70 GTO????? That would have been sweet!
