Default Nova Done... Almost Pics and Video Inside...

Well I am 95% of the way done. It runs and drives. I have to finish the interior and some other small stuff. I am having belt slipping Issues above 5800 RPM I just cant seem to get the last 5psi out of the blower. Going to swap belts and machine the pulley to try and help. If that does not work I am going to a cog drive set up over the winter. Made some great power but really wanting to get the belt to quit slipping. Had Bob and Brent at Exotic Performance Plus do the tuning on it and those are some great guys I would highly recommend them to anyone. I have added a couple of new pics and a Idle clip. I am going to try and get to Brainerd Friday for some T n T before Memphis and the LSX shoot out.

Tell me what you guys think.

You did a nice job with the LS1 install. I am in the early stages of building a low compression 408 for my '69 Nova. I plan on a couple turbos in mine. Since you aren't too far away from me, I might have to run by and take a look at how you made it all work. Let me know if you ever come to Huntsville Dragstrip.

By the way, I have that same CPP master cylinder - it's a nice clean setup.
