Ready!

#1 Post by supernova » Tue May 24, 2011 9:14 am

We're ready for this Friday for some TNT with the Nova. I've been work very hard to get everything finalized and everything marked of the list. The last thing was marked off last night.
The car is as ready as ever. I'm even ready for it also. What I'm hopping to do is get it to run 5.40's with the D/R's and the small carb first. We think in time with the big carb it will run in the 5.20 range. But we're going to work on the small carb tune up first.
Wish us luck and I'll keep everyone posted on the progress.

Here you go and then we can really be twins....

TCP Global, AU1805 Hugger Orange, single stage urethane, $199.95 for a complete kit.

Can't beat that price.

Paint it orange and you can still use that strip we talked about.......that would look good.

Come on, you know you want too :thumb:

Whos converter are you running. Big motor, lots of nitrous! I thought you had already had it retuned for your combo.

Hughes converter. I sent it back to get them to match it to the new 572 ci motor and they got it wrong so out it comes and back it goes. Pete at Hughes said he knows what to do to make it work right........ They're fixing it for free.....
