Jake,

You need to back -up and take five.......... instead of jumping around asking about cams and gears, etc...You need to talk to NHRA tech guy for your Div. , have all your questions written down ahead of time and go down your list.. That way you will have your answers right from NHRA and you can then get all the correct part numbers you need... If you can't get a tech guy, call this guy Wesly @ 319-396-1358, I am sure he can help you..He writes and updates all of the spec's...He is the MAN.. Don, is right on with the gears.... Also,Danny Ashley is the best on Q-jets and knows Pontiacs and will work with you to get it right... As, Jeff said earlier
you won't be shifting a stock Pontiac over 6,000 RPMs for long before it comes apart...You should know they make all their HP down low with torque, not RPMs.. As long as you shift them low, they will live and go fast when you increase the RPMs they slow down and break..
So, start listening to this guys, they know what they are talking....... Dave...1033/stock(Pontiac)
