The car has EASY 11's in it now, like I said though the driver (me!) needs a LOT of practice to get it there though.

The &quot;official&quot; cut-off is supposed to be 11.49 for a rollbar (excluding some late model stuff), but often there's some discretion involved, at least on T&amp;T night. I know of two other local racers who've already been in the low 11's w/o a bar or cage and they haven't been sent packing yet.

I would be very interested in seeing your ZL1 build.

So far I'm very happy with the Legend. As I've said previously it's BIG and it's pretty heavy, and it is a little noisy when it's cold--much like an M22, but it quiets down once it's warmed up.

Is your Nash an early torque tube type?

As an aside, I made an interesting discovery with the Chevelle today, follow-up post coming in a moment....

Eric, WATCH that T&amp;T running faster! I did that with my Nova back YEARS ago (1996 maybe). Went to a T&amp;T and was still 1/8 miling the car due to no rollbar. Well to other cars pitted by me were UNDER the 11.49. One was 11.20's and the other went 10.80's, like 3/4 passes each. So I went the full 1/4. The only time I did that with that combo, 1 1/4 pass. Went 10.47. Guy came over like nothing saying nice car, how fast what's done etc etc. Well he was THE track guy and promptly told me I was done for the day! I told him it must be a mistake as the cars not that fast. I want and asked for 1 more run, out the back door just to see that it wasn't that fast (lol I knew it was a mid 10 car). I wanted to try the NOS on the last hit, but wasn't allowed.

My Nash is set-up as torsion tube at this time. But I also have a whole gear set and tube to make a NON torsion tube trans as well.

My '69 Nova that the ZL_1 is going in with the Nash is a FULL 10 point, 8.50 certified car now. Car will look &quot;mostly&quot; stock. Will have headers, shifter, rollbar. I'm thinking of keeping the 15X8 rallys with a 275 Dr PRO tire. Looking for low low 9's or maybe an 8 with &quot;198&quot; intake on too.

Just a mild little streetcar! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img]
