The Pontiac Aftermarket Council at the PRI show in Orlando- Dec. 2006. The PAC(Pontiac Aftermarket Council) booth at the 2006 PRI show in Orlando was a very busy place this last December. With the introduction of many new traditional Pontiac parts from ALLPONTIAC, BOP Engineering, Ram Air Restoration and Butler Performance, we received much attention from the media as well as racers, street rodders and engine builders from all around the world. The most exciting new product being the first ever aftermarket forged crankshaft for the traditional Pontiac engine(pictured). We're all working hard to bring recognition to the Traditional Pontiac market as well as quality and reasonably priced performance parts.
