Well today is the day I have been working for for almost three years I'll let everyone know how it went tomorrow. Allready getting butterfly's and I'm not racing till later tonight. Come on 10.50s

 

Well here are the results, took the car out Saturday night and it went 10.62 at 128 with a 1.55 60ft. I know every racer says the same thing but there truly is 2 maybe 3 tenths in it. Over all I'm happy with it I was under geared with the 3.90s next time out we're will be hitting it with a 4.30 since going through the lights it was only at 6200 and cam makes power to 7000.

 

Great job! The Nova runs excellent man. What does the converter flash too? What are your shift points?

 

10.62 on the first attempt is great results. a little time behind the wheel as well as finding the sweet spot in the tune/launch will guarantee that 10.50 you want and more.

what timing map did you decide to start with?

 

That is a good start, but it is going to go faster. I looked at your carburetor build sheet from pro-systems but it does not say if you have the 1.375" venturis or 1.5" venturis. If you have the 1.375", I bet it will pick up and tenth and 1 MPH going to a 1.5" like mine did. What was your 60' and your 1/8th MPH?

 

Mathematically speaking.....you have .4 left in it

Congrats on the ET

 

Thanks for the support guys the convertor stalls to 4100 and I shift it at 6800 but I was going through the lights at like 61/6200 so I'm going to through some 4.30 in it and a better set of tires and see what happens. The best 60 ft I could get was a1.55 I really think it should be deep into the 1.4s but that's just me. 1/8 mile mph was 102.76

 

I made my own timing map 14 degrees below 500 and 30 degrees locked out across the board

 

Just making sure your timing wasnt lazy down low. My setup dropped some good 60' by feeding it timing low from idle up. It also ran cooler.
