Sounds like it's time for a nitrous controller.

I just want my old stuff to last longer.

I had a similar set up in my truck. Slightly more comp. Soild roller in the .660 range, Victor Jr. It had out of the box Track 1's. Ran consistent 10:40's on motor and 9:30's with a 175 shot. My truck hasn't been lightened so the weight should be close to yours. Sounds to me like you're on the right...

Man, you guys have all got some great looking Nova's.

Changed over to a factory stock Holley 950 HP, Ticked up 3 hundreds, no mile per hour change, less plug chang...

I'm sure you'll get a lot of opinions from others on here, but I'll give you mine for what it's worth. I used an Eagle 4 inch stroke crank in my stock block. I had no crank fit issues whatsoever. I used Manley 6 inch length I-beam rods and only had to do some very light clearancing at the bottom of ...
