Holy $#!+ Watch this factory iron head Pontiac 455 rev !!!!  

Right😂

It doesn't have a flywheel on it look again.

Took the words right out of my mouth 😂

Exactly

My parents took my sister and I to the Oakland Estuary to the Berkley Jet boat dealer in 1966. They picked out a 16' green and gold metalflake boat with a 350 hp 327 Chevy engine, and we went camping and skiing just about every weekend during the summers. It had a top speed of 62 mph but got there in three seconds..

ill take shit that never happened for a 1000 alex

@@MrR6guyif you find this hard to believe then you must be one sad broke mf

Never heard of a motor balanced by the cam 😂

@@bradleymadosh911 motor was balanced and it had the cam as well.

Started of thinking to going back to the quadrajet. Definitely better gas mileage tooling around town, and the back secondaries are like kitchen sinks! Set up right, they're as responsive as any holley or edelbrock .

The best is open exhaust :)

The Flow masters use the delta flow technology that are welded inside the muffler casing made of thick metal so they are less likely to fail and blow out like a glass pack type of muffler that uses a thin perforated core wrapped with packing . At the speed shop I worked at years ago most of the times the Flow masters made more HP on the cars that we installed those on when we would run them on our chassis dyno and did prior runs with the stock exhaust or a exhaust that had run glass packs or the turbo mufflers and then we would run the car again with the Flow masters and they usually made more power especially once we started jetting for optimal HP and torque along with timing and advance curve settings. We had several turbo mufflers on big blocks that were new that actually split open at the seams and crimps because they were to restrictive and stopped recommending them verses the all welded Flow masters . My boss had a 78 pro street Elcamino all tube chassis car with a certified cage that was making 1,500+ HP to the rear wheels that had a stroked and blown 454 Chevrolet engine and he used the welded Flow masters on it and they took the punishment from that engine no problem. The car could be driven on the street but could knock off 8 second 1/4 miles when driven to the tack and some tuning changes made with the blower pulley. We built a certified tube chassis for a customer who had a 69 Pontiac GTO that was at one time a national record setting drag car that had a 455 using Kaufman heads and custom roller cam with the firing order changed with a aluminum sheet intake and a 5,000 cryoed custom crank that years ago was one of the quickest and fastest all Pontiac powered drag cars here in the good ol USA that was running mid to low 8s at a 160+ mph in the 1/4 mile that was named Bottle fed Goat which I still have a picture of it hanging in my garage to this day . We used to test and tune the car at the Brainered international raceway back then to work the bugs out of the car before the owner started racing it all over the country and setting records with it until he eventually retired from racing and sold the car and I've been trying for years to find it with no luck unfortunately.

Well said, the only problem I had with a set of Flowmasters I ran for years, was the inside divider plates rusted loose and eventually block flow :( @@peteloomis8456

Mine does it…. In the car. 😊

Watch my video I just posted of the 1st to 2nd test hit in a 68 Firebird we just finished up. Hits the rev limiter immediately in 1st and 2nd gear. Its all in the cylinder heads.

right...lol

UltraFlo's for the win !!!!! If they'll fit.

I like the sound of Dynomax mufflers. They are combo of the lod turbo mufflers and the newer straight through can mufflers.

Ya, for not much louder than oem, but more performance it’s hard to beat good Ol’ Dynomax super turbos. 1 of the best performance for money mufflers is the Ultraflow line

1972.... Lemans Sport... Nice looking car alright

That's to cool, wish I still had my high school car. It was a 68 Firebird with a Pontiac 350 I built and ran 13.60's on M50 bias ply tires.

@dcimotorsports1111 ya it's been hard over the years! It's a 1971 Lemans sport with a 455 and a turbo 350 I built in tech school in 87! I've had my car since 84

Yeah, because with a low RPM, boat-anchor Pontiac, it's all about the sound, not about the non-existent horsepower.

@@daryllect6659 why is your wrong opinionated information even relevant? I’m guessing you’re a damn Chevy only fan by your comment, so whatever you’re a fan of makes monster power on every engine they’ve ever manufactured?

​@@DMcElfresh101I'm a Magnaflow fan myself, I think 90% of the people where I live run Flowmasters and drive like they're in NASCAR. As for his low revving boat anchor response, he must have sore feelings when a Pontiac of whatever type blew the doors off of whatever highly tuned machine he was running

@@kalybnielsen4183 definitely not against Magnaflow, used them several times with no regrets! Yes, some people are so biased on “their” brand it’s crazy. I mean nobody was doing great things in late 70’s/ early 80’s far as amazing engine output.

It depends on the car they are in. Its not terrible for most of them. Its a whole lot easier if they have electronic ignition too :) Thanks for following !!!

Scott the 557 blocks are pretty weak and the mains will blow out with not much over 400 HP. So you may want to consider an earlier block to build on. I would not use the performer, the performer RPM is a way better intake. Q-Jets are awesome carbs, but will require a killer fuel system for anything over 350 HP. With the correct cam and cylinder head work 12's is achievable. Porting would just be icing on the cake.

​@@dcimotorsports1111And what's the name of it? I don't need one, but I'd like another one, for some reason I enjoy the QuadraJet manuals, have every GM one available from the early 70's to the early 90's, I have a Gherraty one, he focused on RV economy and power, it's good reading.

Mine do, but your correct if the engine isn't making enough TQ to over come the inertia or weight of those parts. An example would be a small block chevy. They are pretty snappy without the added weight, but slow down a little when added because they are not known to be TQ monsters.

It seems people either love them or hate them. I personally love them and use them whenever possible. The only issue with a Q Jet is their fuel bowl size. You have to have a killer fuel pump and big enough supply line.

No they are a flat top with 2 valve reliefs. The #64 heads have bigger chambers factory rated them at 87CC, but most measure around 93 CC's. Another contributing factor is the pistons are usually around .022" to .028" in the hole which reduces compression as well. So in reality off the production line engines that were rated at say 10.5 to 1 were actually closer to 9.5 to 1. That's why all your NHRA Stock and Super Stockers blueprint their engines to factory ratings.
