Re: Best Pontiac Powered Super Stockers
 

Give me some division and/or nat events you ran, with the Pontiac engine. I did a search for your name on DRC. Got results from several Bruce's, but not yours. Then tried B Campbell. Got results for several Campbells, but not yours.

OK, you mentioned Bristol. Found you at Bristol '03, running a GT/HA '88 Bird. Was #69, with a 10.743. So, if I understand your info correctly, this was done with a 6X head 400 Pontiac engine. If this is NOT correct, please post links to Q-lists where you were running a 6X head 400.

https://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCS...r2003#indextop

So, can you name some races that would be on the DRC files, where you ran those low 10's, with Pontiac power ?

Would love to have some good pics for my files, so I can post 'em in a few places. There are probably several other Pontiac powered GT cars I don't know about, that have run since GT began, because the brand of engine is seldom listed on DRC Q-lists. And I have even less info from before 1998.

Re: Best Pontiac Powered Super Stockers
 

I've mentioned that unless the brand, or sometimes the size of an engine is listed on a Q-list I find online, there is no way for me to know which GT cars have Pontiac power.

And even then, sometimes I can't tell, from the online info.

For example: If the engine is just listed as a 350. That could be any one of several GM brands, but usually means a Chevy brand 350. Same for 400 cube engines, & 455 cube engines.

But, if it's listed as a 326, 389, 421, or 428, in a GM body, that sorta narrows it down.

So, for you guys reading this, who know, if you see that I'm listing a car as being Pontiac powered which is not, or was not at the time I'm referring to, please post that info here, so that I can correct my files & post only accurate info

Thanks to all who will help me with this. I've posted a Pontiac winner here, when actually, the car was another brand. It was just listed wrong on DRC. Also posted that a guy was driving a Corvette, when he was actually driving his newly debuted '69 T/A tribute car. In both cases, I just posted the info I read on DRC. But, just because you read it on DRC, don't make it true.

So, if any of you guys know of Pontiac powered GT cars I have not listed, OR know of some I have listed as being Pontiac powered, when they are(were) not, PLEASE post that info, so I can correct it. Don't wanna leave out any Pontiac powered GT cars, or post that any cars were Pontiac powered, that weren't.

Thanks for any & all help in getting this info correct ! :)

Re: Best Pontiac Powered Super Stockers
 

Bruce,
What RPM were you turning with the 6x 400? I would be interested in any other information about the engine you might be willing to share.



Thanks
Stan

Here he is at Rockingham in '01, listed as driving an '82 Bird @ #8, with a 10.336.

Couldn't find any of the div races mentioned. Back in those days, I don't think DRC had results for all the div races.

But hey, Bruce is on the DRC map ! :)

Stan, Used to turn it 1-2 shift 6600, 2-3 shift 7000,7600 + thru the traps 1/4 mile .Was hard to due with stock block. Had to due a lot of buttom end work to keep oil in the pan. Also had junk heads back then, non welded exhaust, no intake epoxy.we did it all without a Dyno. Now have access to a dyno,but too old to start over again. With all the new stuff (technology) you could make the 400 combo fly. Bruce Campbell. Former 2704 S/SS
