Me and my buddy have been working on this car for about a year now.

Car is a 63 ss nova.

Back half with 9", coilovers, and the usual
Ten point cage..
Redneck RMVB powerglide (w/brake) with billet 4500rpm stall

Engine is TSP 408
L92 heads. Stock intake runners and polished exhaust.
Intake is the GM perfoamnce carb intake
front mount distributer
950 carb shop blow though carb

T6 Borg warner 88mm with race cover

We started out with about 26-28* timing locked. Mallory box set to pull 0.9 degree's for every pound of boost. Runing about 12psi.

We unloaded the car out of the trailer and foot braking it we went 11.15 at 94 mph (obviously coming out of it after the 1/8th.

Second pass was a 10.4 at 109 mph. Held it to the wood till it started popping. At this point we figured the prologger out (left the book at home) and found we were little (read: a lot!) lean. Of course we let out of it.

Jetted up 4 sizes on the back. This run we decided to try to t brake (car had been dead hooking as it was). Well my buddy got on it but was distracted by the guy in the other lane and never let it build rpm to the 2 step. Leaving at 2500 rpm with went 10.4 at 135mph. I will post this slip later because there is some REALLY weird stuff going on with it. Same 60 as last run (1.8). Same 1/8 mph as last (112mph). But .4 slower in 8th. Doesn't make any sence.

We were still lean and jetted up again. This last run we t-brake and held it till the 4k two step. At 1psi we let her lose. Dead hooked, pulled drivers wheel, and went strait.

60' - 1.3716
330' - 3.8564
1/8 et - 5.9776
1/8 MPH - 113.72
1000' - 7.8728
1/4 et - 9.5340
1/4 MPH - 133.25

We for got the start the logger this run. At about the 950' it nosed over. I am assuming its still lean, but it isn't lean enough to pop now. Just a complete guess at this point. Car would have probably big ended a lot better with the afr on. Maybe 140... 142ish i imagine.

This was only 12psi and 14* of timing on a 8.8/1 408. We have a lot left in it.

Thought i would share and get some opinions. Will post pictures asap

8's all day long if you put some more air and fuel in that thing! I love those 63' to 67' nova/chevy II's.

that car will run quick with those 60fts and more boost. The majority of the people trapping 133 are running 9.7x and higher.

Once you really get the car dialed in, after another 20 passes or so I bet it will be a high 8 second car.

 

Congrats on the run for the first time out. You should see some 8 second pass in that light nova backhaved. I went 8.78 in my 69 nova with my 434 and a 300 shot 1 stage with a 28 x 10 i need to upgrade my sig.lol

 

Yes sir! and this is about 8/1 motor only running 12psi. We have a lot left in it. Getting the cage certified then going to try and get licensed next time to the track so they wont run us off anymore.

Last time at the track we tried to go slow. Went 9.87 at 109

At our 7000foot plus DA's... NO ONE in our town is running that fast that effortlessly... or at all for that matter.

Just a couple 22 year old dudes trying to show the old guys we can know how to go faster better than they do lol.
