Throttle response is always a lot better when theres nothing bolted to the flywheel. Sounds great though.
Right😂
It doesn't have a flywheel on it look again.
Took the words right out of my mouth 😂
Exactly

Evolved engine colors that have been painted Pontiac has to have the most beautiful blue shade for any motor not to mention Pontiac has some pretty awesome motors

Back in the mid 70s I owned a 16 foot ski boat with an Olds 455 to Jacuzzi jet drive. Motor was balanced with a Isky cam. Fuel was always Chevron Custom Supreme (100+ octane) thru a Holly double pumper carb. When you stomped on it, the boat would hit 75 mph at 6000+ rpm. It drank fuel like crazy. Would haul 6 skiers from deep water starts with ease. It was a blast to own and run.
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.
flow master
Well it is going to rev a little quicker because your just running a auto drive plate without the weight of the converter. Any way very Nice .I have built may of these as well. They are a beast.
I’m a Flowmaster man myself and they sound so sweet
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

I like the QuadraJet, especially the M4MC style
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 .
An old, experienced exhaust specialist told me years ago that a Pontiac V8 & a big block Mopar are the 2 hardest engines to quiet the exhaust sound. (I was there getting mufflers on a Dodge 440 & i must say i had to agree with him.)
I agree, but the exhaust note is cool to listen to :)
I Really like the Sound of the Dino Max

Nice to see the Pontiacs still being appreciated. Much better engines overall than 1st generation chevy small blocks.
I agree 100 percent, but there are lots that dont agree :)
I know some disagree, but I always lean to dynomax. A company willing to put up cfm ratings isn't just selling sound. If its sound I want... straightpipes it is.
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
Definitely quiet @@DMcElfresh101
Anyone use hooker aero chambers. I’ve been using them for a while like the sound and performance
Pontiac was the main reason for the Super Stock Class back in 1962 . When I was a young fella , I used Pontiac 455 blocks and Isky cam and 400 heads huge bang for your buck in the old days .
It has a flexplate and no torque converter, or flywheel. Of course it will rev quick.
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

Thank U Sir !!! @@southtexashustler
Wow that sounds great! My first race car in high school was a Pontiac Lemans sport. Which I still have in the garage with a 455! I can just imagine what that engine with a set of RAM AIR V heads would be like!
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
Back in the 80's my brother had a 1950 Ford pickup & he had a 455 in it. Bad ass old truck.
NICE!!!!
Had both of those mufflers on my 67 Chevelle at one point. The FM’s had the cool factor at idle no doubt, but were annoyingly loud at “cruise”. DM’s were exactly opposite. I drove more than I idled, so I chose the DM’s.

Love Poncho’s! Love the Dynomax’s too
Pontiacs sound glorious with 60 inch X 3 inch round straight pipes.
Great sound either way. Love the lope of the cam... reminds me of my 69 400 RAIII engine that I snatched from a 69 Judge, had rebuilt and then put into my 68 Firebird, in 1976. The car had a 278 gear, but still turned 12.80 @ 123 mph at Fremont/Baylands raceway.
Had a Oldsmobile omega with a mild built 455, cant remember it was 250 or 260's gears , tried 373, mph went down, time went up, 342 same thing, 308 time was the same but mph went down a few mph didnt have a 273 set to try no one believes it had that high of gears and ran so fast through the 1/4.them low winding big blocks love high gears and wide ratio transmission. Over 500 tq and a wide power band

The buick GS 455 cars were nice, guy down the street when I was a teenager had a skylark that he yanked the 350 out of and put the 455 in. He took me on a couple of wild rides and I was hooked for life
Wow! Someone who knows about a QJet! Kinda rare these days.
I love these carbs. I wrote a performance tips manual on them back in the late 80's and sold it. The DCI in my name stands for Don's Carburetor INC. That was how I started my business 43 years ago as a carburetor shop. Back then we everything had a carburetor :)

Flow master
I'm a die hard Flowmaster guy,awesome mufflers
Man! Snappy! Sounds great with lift in the low .500s! Beautiful! And flowmasters alllllll the way, man! Next best thing to open headers! Lol. Those other ones make it sound like a darn putt putt patty wagon. 🤣🤣🤣
Ha Ha Flowmasters definitely have a way more aggressive sound.
Both mufflers sound great but I love the sound of the Dynomax. In order to make a standard 400 hp (1977 - 500577 block), what would you do to make it perform? I'm looking for an upper 12 second street car. It has 3:42 gears, a holley 750, torquer 2 manifold, 1.52 scorpion Rocker Arms, a custom grind cam thats slightly hotter than the Ram Air 3, hooker headers, thought I wasn't to change to ram air exhaust manifolds, a coan torque converter
Eventually, I'd let to get a 3 angle valve job
Should the heads be ported and polished as well? I was thinking of getting an Edelbrock performer for and getting a perfor m ance kit for rochester carb from Clifs. What do do you think? Any suggestions?
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.
Second mufflers had more of the crackling sound. I like it 👌.
Sounds great ! For a 5200 rpm mill ... Nothing but love ! I'll take the old school 375 or 425 wildcat over anything else all the way , when it comes BOP . Sweat motor for sure , especially for a truck .
BOP all make big TQ 🤪
Does that engine even turn a full revolution before it starts? Sweet !

Really, the 2 different mufflers each sound great, I usually like Dynomax, but this combo sounds great with Flowmasters. Even open exhaust is still very nice and not too radical sounding
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.

@@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.
Yep that’s I remembered about them old Pontiacs. Distributor in the rear up against the firewall. Made it a little difficult to tune up.

Always did like the Quadrajet carb. Had a 1966 Olds 88 with the 425 high compression engine, had the Rodchester 2 bbl when I bought it, changed manifold and put on the Quadrajet and never looked back. If you got a good one they were great if not what a pain in the a#$. 😅

I wonder if you could shoot spray paint into the carb so when you pull the intake off you can see the paint patterns in the port areas. Maybe on a flow bench. Let e know if you do this

the only thing that bugs me is the instant start up. good tune but, I like to crank a short bit first to build oil pressure, then fire up
Thank U SIR, for the KUDOS !!! We have been doing this so long now that we get to see engines we built for refreshes and almost all of them we could re use the bearings. Obviously we don't, but the point is they show no bearing wear hardly at all after even 90,000 miles which pretty amazing :)
I took one of those and bored it .108, put AMC 390 12:1 piston which had the perfect piston pin position to use Chevy .400 over length rods which had a smaller rod journal than the 455. Offset ground the crank by .030 stroking the engine to .060. Came out to I think 502 ci with 14:1 compression with the small chamber heads. It was in the 1980s when I did it.
Cool, I like cross breading to get something unique :)
What kind of choke is on that carb? Looks like a hot air carb but i dont see it connected to the intake.
This is a later model carb with an integral choke and choke housing. These were either heat actuated or electric. We put a electric choke stat on this one.
It'll almost idle smooth once the mass of the torque converter is added.

quadrajets work amazing when you rework them i used to get a lot from mondello performance they had a throttle shaft bushing kit that kept the carb from pulling air and howling that with a few other small improvements and it was an awesome carb
Yes they are !!! Not many put 2 and 2 together with the name of my company, but the DCI in my company stands for Don's Carburetor INC.

I will dig out my master and post a short on it and reprint some for sale. Stay Tuned :) @@kalybnielsen4183
The 750 quadrajet was one of my favorites, albeit hard to come by. I'll take the dyno-max muffs any day, since I do more than idle.
I like Turnouts No Muffler 😀😊😀❤️
Are you running dish pistons in it to get that compression ratio
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.
When running....
UA-cam subtitles....(Music)
Yes UA-cam you are correct 💯
I like the Flowmaster mufflers better.
The Flowmasters do have a unique sound and I used to love that sound. Now I must be getting old lol , and I like the Dynomax better :)
That's all I'd ever have on my cars is quad jet carbs 71 monte 77 and 84ss they are the best for the buck, and for use in a daily driver as well
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.
Was the Flowmaster a chambered muffler? You can get a DynoMax in a chambered design too. DynoMax (Walker) out flows Flowmaster, in all comparable cases. I think they sound better too.

is that the xr288hr cam? i have same in my 400 stroker but mine sounds more radical than that for some reason. i have pypes violator appropriately named but that thing sounds nice
Thanks for the Kudos !!! Yes its the High energy 288. Depending on how low you like your idle it can sound way meaner.
@@dcimotorsports1111 mines dialed in at 107 so hits pretty hard. I'm at 11.87:1 on dished piston w 56 cc heads. It's on my channel w wenzler tunnel ram
I like higher reving 400 and Magnaflow mufflers.
Flowmaster All day🤘

Thank You for the KUDOS !!! Come hang out with us every Wednesday night on our Podcast from 7PM to 8PM Eastern. Thanks for following :)
Sounds just like the 400 in my TA my 400 really turns on the rpm ! Been told if I switched to 455 it wouldn’t turn nearly as hard as the 400 with the same cam and parts
400's are fun and have a little broader power band than the 455. I love the 455 for its TQ though. Thanks for following !!! Check out our Podcast tonight and every Wednesday night from 7PM to 8PM Eastern.
