Mark Dalquist and Throttle's Performance brought a 429 cubic inch Pontiac to the Engine Masters Challenge this year. The Hot Rod staff was impressed:
"The big-bore Pontiac bottom end was covered with some of the latest high-tech components available. The Chad Speier-worked Edelbrock heads ensured ample airflow, and the radical Megasquirt engine management system was state of the art. The star component, however, was the Performance Design Carbon TR induction intake manifold. The layout featured individual equal length runners feeding from large tapered full-length upper plenum, with a giant Injector Dynamics throttle body up front."
