'69 Nova Track Numbers - 4.8L W/ TC76 Ran the car last night...in 40 degree weather!
No idea what the actual track temp was but nobody was hooking up.
60 Ft --- 2.3
1/8 ET --- 7.9
1/8 MPH --- 100
1/4 ET --- 11.80
1/4 MPH --- 130
I figure not too bad for the daily driven street car with a $100 short block.
I sucked at getting the car out of the hole.
First time running at 6 speed turbo car at the track...a little different..
1969 STOCK nova
2004 4.8L truck engine, 190K
317 heads, reworked
LS6 Cam
T56 twin disc McLeod
TC76
160 LB Inj. (overkill but going to be putting in other race car this winter)
2 BAR tune, '02 ECM
12 bolt with 4.10's (left over from when it was a 4 speed)
Just thought I'd share and maybe get a few suggestions/comments.

Yea, it is 99% street but I want 10's.
I am going to put in 3.55's to put in the back.
Also, I hit single digits on my AFRs so I need to go back and check my logs.
I was running HP Tuners and logging data so I need to lean out my VE table.
OH, the best part was when I slapped the bitch in third, spun the drag radials, got wheel hop and the trim rims flew off my rear wheel (steel ralley's) and followed me down the track! Too bad my girlfriend is terrible with the video cam.

10'S will be no issue with traction and some more seat time
The tune sounds like you have a good amount of power left on the table as well.
LOL about the trim rings.. bet you leave those at home next time

THE TRIM RINGS MAKE THE LOOK! LOL
When I went to tech the car, the guy was popping everyone's hood, checking helmet's for DOT approval....he looked at me and waved me through! Then I went out and ran an 11! It was priceless.
Yea, the tune is wayyyyy too fat right now.
I think next Wednesday I will head back to the track.
I was boosting about 12-13 PSI.
Also, might go back to the MP T70...spooled much faster and with only pushing low teens in boost, it should not hold me back.
Oh, and I am only shifting (mostly bouncing off the rev limiter) at 6500 RPM.
