A recent addition is the Ram Air system. John says that it makes a difference. The air cleaner has two snorkels that connect to the flex tubes under the hood. This allows the engine to breathe from the two large hood scoops at the front of the hood.

Hawk:   Unfortunately, the '72 455 H.O. was crippled by low compression (as were all '72 American performance V8s). Therefore it needed all the help it could get; that factory Ram Air system certainly helped. Humberleman:   I have been a Pontiac enthusiast since the 1970s. I have owned a few GTOs over the years including my current 1970 Ram Air IV GTO, 4 speed with 4.33 gears. The 455HO GTO even with low compression is still a very serious muscle car. The 455HO makes tons of torque at low RPM. What a 455HO need to run into the 13s is a mild carb tuneup, distributor advance kit and tire pressure attention. The 455HO GTOs also run a bit better with 3.73 gears. Stock they are a solid 14 second car. Click here to add your own comments.      -or-     See the newest comments sitewide.
