Default F1A Procharged 1972 Nova pics 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.

WOW, Nice car. I don't really think Brainerd is where to go to T&T. There is however a race in Montgomery this Saturday(Edgars Track Day) And The track will be prepped alot better than Brainerd, and also We are going to SDR on Sunday. Just a thought for you, and like I said, Nice car!

curious what cam your running-i had about the same engine, only saw 488 to the rear wheels, lq4, pat heads, 9 lbs boost under the carb
any heating problems with the i/c blocking the radiator-when i had my nova, i had to drop the i/c down lower to uncover some of the rad (it had a 415 s/b,

Not yet I have been driving it on the street to make sure there no bugs it runs around 190 to 205 in traffic. I really dont have room for the cog setup but if cant get this to work I will be moving some stuff around and running the cog. Its the new LS Transplant Bracket setup.
