Well I finally got the Nova fired up. It hasn't been without a lot of advice an help along the way. The startup was successful, but late night, open downpipe and a couple laptop screw ups (my fault) cut the tuning session short. To those I can remember, Forcedfed86, Wicked69, RonSSnova, hellbents10, stock48, denmah, yenkomike, spray280, JoeNova, all the rest from here I can't recall, my buddies that helped I want to say thanks again! It's truly appreciated.
looks damn good . thanks and im glad to help if I helped at all. the under hood looks very nice. and I know how hard it is to get everything to fit in a nova. ive seen your posts but what is the whole build parts wise?.

It's a '70 Nova. Engine is an SBE gen IV 5.3 (dished pistons) with 243 heads. It's got a JFR racing unicorn grind cam, 1218 springs, trunion upgrade, etc. truck intel with 80 lb injectors on truck rails. Turbo is an s475/83 t4 with a 1.25 A/R. Flipped truck manifolds with 2.25 off each side to a 2.5 inch merge into the turbo. It runs through a Treadstone intercooler with 3 inch piping. LS7 water pump with drivers side outlet. 4 inch exhaust with a Hooker Maxflo muffler and I just recently fabbed up the 4 inch to go up and over the rearend and exit behind the rear tire. Th400 trans with a brake PTC converter and a 12 bolt with a 3.08 gear on a spool. 33 spline strange axles mono leafs and CalTracs. Soon to have 275/60 drag radials on it. Stock sumped tank with twin AEM 380 pumps with a 10an feed and 8an return. Holley Hp EFI and a bench seat! That's about all I can think of. Ask any questions. I'll be happy to answer.
