[@jeffpowers2916]

Jordan. That car is just awsome. Can't wait to see what you do with the green one.

[@RamblinAround]

Thanks Jeff, I appreciate that!

[@mattspontiacta]

Hell Yea !!! Awesome burnout absolutely love it . Good job on the build ! GTO equal Gas, Tires , Oil. I had one back in the late 70s . Love them GTOs 👍

Thanks man, I appreciate you watching!

[@rugerrocker7483]

My dad just passed away yesterday but he loved pontiacs too. When I was 3 he had a 62 catalina 389 4blr ragtop that thing would roll and later a 64-65 boniville 389 white on white ragtop beautiful cars

[@RamblinAround]

Sorry for your loss. Those are both really cool Pontiacs. Thanks for watching our video, we appreciate it!

I've been following you guys for years and I just got out of the military and im back in Illinois with my 00 ws6 trans am. Hopefully one day I can meet you guys. That would be awesome!

[@doublel7337]

Awesome GTO ! I believe that with the right tires it will do 12 second run.

[@RamblinAround]

Thank you, but I assure you, it is much faster than 12's.

[@doublel7337]

@@RamblinAround Well, I can believe it, my friend built a 396 that turned low 10's and 130+ at Columbus, it had two four barrel carbs, but no nitrous.

[@RamblinAround]

@@doublel7337 We have a GPS unit, called a Dragy. So, we know what it runs in the quarter on an unprepped street. Spinning all the way through first, and on the smallest nitrous shot, it traps in the 120's. I'm hoping to swap in a 9" rear over the winter, so I can hit the track on some slicks next season. With traction and more nitrous, it should be pretty quick.

[@doublel7337]

@@RamblinAround It needs the drag slicks, it will be interesting to see what it will do. You built a great engine, no doubt about it.

[@ParadiseOnOctane]

What fuel pumps⛽ are you running on the trans and the gto??Sounds crazii 👍💪

[@jordan-ramblinaround2323]

The GTO has an Edelbrock mechanical pump good to 600+hp for the engine only, as well as it's own separate 380 LPH pump, supply line, regulator, and return line just for my nitrous plate.

[@heavyhitta6905]

I love the way it sounds what a beast and its mean looking, would actually rather have it like that instead of all shiny new paint no worries about someone scratching it

Look like the 68 much more fun than chiseling the rust off that green 69

[@shadowthetypo]

Can't wait for a video at the track!

[@DoItMyselfGarage]

I'm curious about your decision to go with a flat tappet cam after you ended up switching to aluminum heads. I'm just getting started on my rebuild and have those same #16 heads that you started with. Not sure if I want to go the roller route either. Eagke 461 stroker kit is in my shopping cart, just waiting to hear back from the machine shop that the block is healthy. Thanks for any insights you might have. Your car is sounding great!

[@RamblinAround]

Thanks, I appreciate that. Most people would probably go with a roller cam these days, because of more modern designs, with more aggressive ramps, etc. I had originally ordered the XE284H to run with my #16 heads, but then I later decided to go with the ported aluminum heads. I considered switching to a roller at that point, but they aren't cheap and I already had the other cam. Also, I had heard about quite a few roller lifter failures (I'd go with Johnson lifters if you go roller). Despite some of the negative talk about them, I have never had a single problem out of a flat tappet cam. As long as you do a proper break-in, and run the right oil, they are fine. The XE284H gave me the specs I was looking for, after I went to 1.65 rockers. Lift is .557 IN / .561 EX, and duration is 240 IN / 246 EX @ .050. Could I make more top end horsepower with a massive roller? Yes, for sure. But my engine is under-stressed, makes plenty of low and midrange power, and still pulls strong to 6500 when I want to. Also, I just hit it with nitrous when I need more :) Butler would probably recommend you go roller, as they did with me. I just chose to go my own way.

[@paulb4uk]

loving the sounds of the v8

[@stude1953]

You wouldn't get 2 miles before one of our cops would pull you over for all those stickers in your window! lol

[@RamblinAround]

Yeah, Jordan better quit where he's at, he's running out of rear window :)

[@willbrockbank7507]

Hi, Im planning a simular engine build, no nitrous. Did you put 4 bolt mains in it? what pan did you use? sorry if its in one of the videos and i missed it. Love the build.

[@jordan-ramblinaround2323]

It has ARP main studs on a 2 bolt main block, that I had the mains align honed on.

[@jessechavez1596]

Have you run a quarter mile yet and if not will you be doing one soon?

[@RamblinAround]

I have tested it with the Dragy GPS unit on the street. It traps in the 120's on the smallest nitrous jets, but that's with it spinning all the way through first, and a bit through second. It'll be a lot faster on a prepped track, and of course with the bigger shot of nitrous. Over the winter, I want to swap in a Ford 9" rear, so I can run slicks. I'll definitely film the first runs at the track.

[@rugerrocker7483]

gotta love love the look of a pontiac

What gears do you have ?

[@jordan-ramblinaround2323]

3.36s with a mini spool.

[@THRASHMETALFUNRIFFS]

That's how it's done son! Sounds Sweet! Perfect control, either keep it mashed or get off it if it ain't straight but just don't try doing any fancy pedaling or let it shift and turn off ur line or you end up in one of those dumb compilations riding it up a pole /w\/w\ Want to see a solid cammed 383 Stroker 83' Firebird and a 70 Challenger shredding tires on my 1996 VHS?

It's actually a pretty nice cruiser. It rides well and the seats are surprisingly comfortable because Jordan got the angle just right on them. It's definitely loud, but's it's fun. Thanks for watching Jim!
