You know, thats the one thing I have not done to my car ( mini tubs that is ).
I run a class that is a 275-60-15 D/R tire class and I don't have to cut on it to get the tires to fit.

Good luck with your tub project.

yeah i ran the same tire under my car but never could quite get a handle on them.My local track was kinda shy with the prepping if you no what i mean.I went to 28x10.5 slicks and started having huge wheelstanding problems that i had to work out now i decided to go to 29.5x10.5 on a 12" wheel.BTW your car is looking good what wheels are u gonna run?

Uh! It's a 525 c.i. motor.

4.310 bore x 4.500 stroke, 6.535 rods. Dart pro-1 heads 335 cc intake runner, 115 cc chambers cnc ported and polished. 12.5-1 compression; Cam motion cam 7-4 swap .700+ lift ,280+ at .050; Eagle crank and rods; J&E piston. And lots of block work.
It'a more of an old school set up with new technology mixed in like the heads and cam. This thing made over 900 ft lbs of tq on the dyno with a 200 shot of n2o at 5000 rpm's. A real stump puller. This motor is why I'm building this new car. I put this motor in a 73 Nova as a streer car that I raced in a true street class. This motor needed a better car. Hence the 72 Nova project.
What else do you want to know?

VERY NICE.... STUMP PULLERS ARE GREAT !!

hey supernova i got a question for ya how high were you spinning that 525 to. i got the base to build one and i wana get a little more info. i personnally have a thing for high revving engines. i dont think this one does but i just want to know how high.

It starts loseing power at 7100 rpm's. I have been shifting at 6800 rpm's when it was in the other car. Made a few changes so we'll have to see in the new car.
It isn't a high reving motor by todays standarders but it dosn't have to be.

that aint to bad. what kind of times did you run.

[supernova]

The 73 Nova is the only thing I've run this motor in and the very best it did was a 5.63 @ 123 mph 1/8 mi. In the new car with some changes I'm looking for consistint 5.4's. That is on the juice with 200- 250 shot if need be.
