5.25s in the eighth
and 8.20s in the quarter

are my guesses

very nice. 0.06 in the eigth is pretty stout and about what i expected.

he will be missed. he was a great thinker and doer

bracketnova, how much did you pick up?

it looks very nice

ie, shouldnt the tire look like this on launch http://texaspic.net/p693393197/h2fdf9cc5#h339b2227 http://texaspic.net/p693393197/h2e0f3199#h2e0f3199 http://texaspic.net/p693393197/h25820171#h25820171 edit: im looking at the second slo mo and im seeing some of that deformation. also looks like the fr...

i dont see a lot of body separation in those videos. it looks like it squats from the tire hit but little body separation, like a good ladder bar car should be. the vids are not very clear, but i also dont see the tire barely deforming... i was under the impression that a nice flat contact patch is ...

very nice. jealous

I priced a 4x8 sheet of 3/16" Marguard for $365 and a sheet of regular 3/16" for $165. One sheet will get really close to doing an entire Nova. It might be a tad sort on one quarter window but I haven't measured it all up just yet. i bought a 1/8 4x8 sheet locally for 85 and a tinted one ...

you can get enough lexan to do the whole car for like $190 and have a couple of spare blanks for a new windshield so i would go that route. the margard stuff is silly expensive.

From gas to alky picked up 5 mph, et also dropped .5 secs

GOOD GOD, thats a lot of gains from just changing the gas. I think Im going to try alky in MY engine. thanks for the info man.

im currently running e85 but ive heard that I can also pick up some gains going from e85 to methanol.

ok, so the choices so far are(under 1700 assembled)

chad speier import core, full cnc 210 cc $1620
afr 210 cnc chamber only $1568
trickflow 215 cc as cast $1500

i guess the real question is, what is the best head for under $1700/pair assembled out there, in the 210cc to 220 size range

How is this engine gonig to be used? How fast is he looking to go? he is looking to go 9.99 at 3400lbs. manual trans clutch car. car is 80 percent drag, 20 percent other(pro touring, standing mile) for now though it is 100% drag and he wants all the power possible out of it. i mentioned increasing ...

Oh, my bad. yeah, 6.004 at 112 is making some STEAM.

are the gains from gas to alky all alky or where there other changes made. it looks like some huuge gains.

also, can i ask what front shocks you are running?

With more cam it would make 550, with the setup he has currently has 500, and yes i would say the carb is to big. My old 383 made 550 to the wheels on a chassis dyno with AFR 210's, my car is also a 4 speed car so the drivetrain is very effiecient...maybe it makes 600hp? I also used 1 3/4" hea...
