65 Nova II - Basic LQ4+S480 build
Hitting the dyno tomorrow morning. Was on 6psi for a few weeks. Have it on 11psi for the spring pressure now and it feels great on the street. Going to tune it up to 15-16psi tomorrow. Current A/F around 11.0 and timing 11-12* 93pump gas.
On the scale car was 3160lbs full 15gal cell, full exhaust, 9", all metal body parts. Pretty damn happy about that.

I made a separate thread with some dyno/track times but man I just have to say how happy I am with this one so far. Luckily I learned a ton from my rx7 build and this time around it went far smoother. It has been running about two months now and driving 4-5 weeks. I have probably driven it 600 miles atleast already with very few bugs along the way. Few things certainly I will address this winter for sure though.
For anyone who hasn't seen the other thread it made 1004tq/888hp on 18-19psi 93/C12 mix 11*
Attachment 724953
Took it to the track and just made an easy pass before I got the boot. 15-16psi 11* launched off idle. 10.4 @ 144 2.1 60ft
Currently looking into roll cage options. If anyone knows a decent prefab I will weld one in otherwise im looking for a good chassis guy in WNY area. Willing to travel for quality work.

Car us perfect!
For cage work, I would call Scorpion. Most underrated chassis guy in the county IMO. He has many 6 second cars running around PR. His personal car goes 7.2 and literally looks like its on a rail. My grandma could go 7's in the thing!

If he has anyone there that could promote the business he would put a LOT of people out of work!

Excellent job! It's going to get fun when you get the cage in and tune it for the track. Esp when it leaves harder.
Of course you can twiddle it with HPT.
Got a brake in that glide?
I think you would be happiest with a custom cage. It will hide better. If course it will gain 150lbs or so. I think you have the extra power on tap to handle the weight! Ha!
My 69 weighs 3380 with me in it. We just weighed it last week on the 4 corner race scales. I was happy about that to!
Again, sweet car!

I am hoping to pop off a few 9sec passes later in the season!
