    Hey guys!

      If it's stock, you'll kill it.

          I thought the guy in that post was racing the 6.6 with a WS6?

            If the hood scoop reads "6.6 liter" you should be able to take him. It is likely an Oldsmobile 403 (170 hp) or possibly a "basic" Pontiac 400 (180 hp).

            If it says "T/A 6.6" it could be a good race, particularly if it is a 4-speed (autos. were held back by gearing too high for any real acceleration). That's what the hood scoop read if the car had the optional high-output 400 Pontiac engine. They were rated at 220 hp, I believe.

                yeah, but they also talked about the engine options and how slow they were.
