In more recent years, I think the RA2 Birds are the quickest Pontiacs in Pure Stock type racing.
I don't know if that's just because nobody has done a real serious pure stock RA4 Bird build, but some have done the RA2 Birds.
Again, the scarcity & price of the RA4 heads may be a factor.
Going quick, under pure stock type rules, is not easy. So, to do it, requires people who know what they're doing, & have the time & money to put into the project. Also must have a real desire to wring everything they can out of the combination. There are just not that many qualified guys around who have all these things going for them, IMO.
A Pontiac name I've seen more than any other, connected with pure stock type racing, is Dan Jensen.

That's a great link.
That SUN Distributor machine!
Our high school had one so I spent quite a few mornings on it.
I forgot the PSMCD rule about 12mo12K warranty so that knocks the 427 Fairlanes out, making the 428CJ / 429SCJ / Boss351 Ford's top combos.
I thought for a while that PSMCD was using "factory+1.0" as the max compression ratio but it looks like they've just gone to the NHRA specs, but also check .050 duration.
