Hey, Jake

You need to take five and stop jumping around all over the place.. I would suggust you call your NHRA tech guy for your Division ? or call Wesly @ 318-396-1358, tell him what you are trying to do, 71 or 72 and he will set you up... Just in-case you don't know who he is, he writes most of the spec changes for NHRA..This way you will know EXACTLY what part numbers you need !!! He is the MAN...........Good Luck, have all your questions ready ahead of time, so you know what to ask..... Danny Ashley, is great on carbs and will put you right in the ball game.. He also has run Pontiacs for many years..... You have to be careful in reading the rule book, it will tell you the following parts # came with those years. Then you find out that it was only on firebirds or GP.. I am building a 1973 firebird with a 400ci and we had problems finding the right heads, so be smart and talk to Wesly he will be able to set you up....

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)
