That is true, forgot pontiac engines like dont like to rev high.

Still deciding and doing some more research on what to get

I am running a 4 spd manual tranny in it, would like to keep it a 4 speed as well

Like I said, Im looking for the nice launches for the 1/4 mile and all. Its very rare the car goes onto the highway, mostly driven just in town for fun. Fuel is not a problem for the use of the car(even though gas is ridiculous) so I am not looking for it to be fuel economy friendly
