Question for Pontiac folks

[KenMaisano]

I did a bunch of work on Pontiac hot rods in the 80S for Doug Goad back in my PAS days. Prototype Automotive Services. We ran Hard in the show room stock classes and built some serious twin turbo stuff. along with a couple prototype GTOs that I built some all Magnesium 3.0 iron duke and four valve Mosier headed engines. Along with building all the prototype and production Turbo Trans Am.
Very fun days with Many late hours.

Eh, when I was younger I hated G-bodies, probably in part because you couldn't walk 10 feet without tripping over one. Now that I'm older and you don't see them everywhere, I kinda like 'em. I think that GP looks good in all black with the hood tach, I just wish it had come with a little more grunt under the hood. It's a shame the TPI engines never made it into the G's. For that matter, it's a shame the Pontiac V8 got killed off. I would have loved to see a 3rd gen 'Bird with an EFI, roller cammed Pontiac under the hood.

Thanks for posting, Ken. I knew Pontiac was doing quite a bit back then with the four cylinders, but I don't know any details. I've never found a source that goes into it in depth.
