Joel Smith came to use wanting to build a strong reliable bracket combo for his Pontiac Powered Rear Engine Dragster. Joel had the goal of making 4 digits (1000 + horsepower) and we thought we could help him get there. We decided to use a Kauffman Performance MR-1A aluminum aftermarket block for the foundation of his build and combine it with the early set of 45cc KRE Super Wedge heads. With this power and Joel’s tuning capabilities, we see this combination ending up on the fastest. Pontiacs. ever Top 10 NA list very soon!
