they are holeshot holestars. I would love to show you the full set, but i dont have the backs yet. Im getting a 9" soon and plan to narrow it, so im stuck on the prostars for now. They kinda match though...

**just check and i dont have a single pic that has both sets of wheels in it....

I saw this car and something does not look right. It has the oddest looking LSX valve covers I've ever seen. Did you buy them on ebay or something?

Yeah, the valve covers came in the same kit off ebay as the distributor and the funny looking throttle body I run- hah hah hah.

My buddy brians car I work on

406 single dominator, ladder, bar coil over, power glide car.

9.70 on motor with only 32* timing.

9.30@142 1.30 60 ft with a glide with a 100 shot.

Still need to tune the chassis and found a couple electrical gremlins, hoping for a .1 or .2 improvement with a little more timing and come chassis tuning.

After we'll limit the front travel and spray more, goal for the car originally was only 8.90, but looks like we'll exceed that pretty easily.

We're also going to switch to the 315 60 15 on a 15x12 and try that out.

Pic at west coast hot rod event in August at famoso in California.

He's going to be building up a 4th gen with an lsx turbo motor and running the 315 60 15 drag radial.

Other cousin; my brother has the Nova, I had the Malibu. But yeah, he put the BBC in the car before I got it. Apparently people still know the car since I had a lot of guys drop by with questions at the NMCA race (ran Open Comp) and when I was at Test & Tunes @ Joliet.

But with the big block (now about 3600 pounds!), its street racing days are over, so it will mainly be a bracket racing slug this year with maybe a few index races here and there.

His nova is under 2600 pounds, but he's 300+ pounds he's a big guy.

This is the cousin with Nova and I want nothing to do with "The Pewter Z" (to much bad Karma for me). I've got the Futral short block out of that thing and it is going in a 94 Mustang. I am hoping for 11.50's on motor . Hopefully that boat anchor "Pewter" car can keep up.
