My '94 ran 13.6's with headers, cat back, cold air and drag radials. If you went to 3.73 gears you would be a decent match for the Nova providing you can actually drive a six speed. Don't take that as an insult, but getting a good ET is all about shifting and it takes a lot of practice to get a good ET and to do it consistently.

when you go to the track, bring a towel(kinda thin) and then bring a few bags of ice with ya. cover your intake with the rag, and then put the bags of ice on the intake. When you first get to the track, I recommend leaving them on there for about an hour. let everything cool down real good. then hope you can get through the lanes fast enough, rip the tires, and go. it will help a little bit because colder air=more power, and the colder your intake is, the colder the air is. at least a little bit.

Well if you want to be real fast and not spend much money doing it I cannot think of anyother way other than a nitrous kit. Run a 100 shot and I'm sure that Nova won't come back for 2nds.
