4.10's running micky thompson 275/60/15's d/r's so a 28 inch tall tire.


The cam is a nitrous cam so I'm really impressed with how its doing N/A for sure.

There is defenetly more left in it N/a too, i have an ewp and efp to put in still. Also working on a cold air set up using the cowl.

The goal was high-mid 11's all motor and bottom 10's on spray. (I dont want to put a cage in it) so a bottle pass would be for fun

Best part is it runs on 91 swill and used less then 5 gallons for this trip... i made 4 passes and a few freeway pulls on the way home.

I'll have to get the vids from my buddy.... But yes there are vids


As for the the specs

Stock un-ported vortec's with a good valve job and stock valves

cam... crane powermax 300/308... 238/246 .490/.495 112

running pro mag 1.52's with light weight hardened pushrods and lt4 springs.

compression is around 10.2 with flat tops, 63cc chambers and .28 procomp mls head gaskets.

running a holly hp750 mech seconderys. 78 fronts w/a 2.5 power valve and 88 rears w/ no rear power valve.
black pump cams in the front and pink in the rear with 40's and 35's squirters

running a super victor intake

It took 36* total timing on the dyno to make the best power.


Its nothing crazy really, car made only 320 rwhp but that was through my horrible crimped 2.5 in flow masters. It now sports 3in dual magnaflows turned down at the axle. Im guessing 340 is rwhp.

car is 32-3300 with me in it.

The converter is tight as well its a tci super street fighter with anit-balooning plate.

Car works and dose serious damage to ego's on the street, it gets driven alot.

Thanks for sharing, thats an impressive time for what your workin with!
I have a similar car at home but as of now it has way less cam and compression. Probably heavier too, I still have work to do.
I'm guessin your car is purple? (barney)Sounds like a cool old nova!

yeah the car is primer purple with green interior lol.

Im only guessing with the weight, the car weighed 3250 with an iron bbc & no driver. Its a shot in the dark.

I drive it all the time, it runs consistent 12.00's with bad track conditions, and is buttery smooth on the street. If you just cruised it you'd never know how fast it is. It has amazing throttle response and mid range for how big the cam is. Gets great milage for a Holly and 3800 converter, has great street manners.

Really impressive. I still like how old iron Vortecs are still making 350s scream at the tracks.
