Default Re: yenko duece performance

rat;
A stock 4 speed Yenko Deuce Nova will generally run in the high 13's with stock tires, suspension, full exhaust and smog. (I believe Petes COPO Nova was running without the smog at that pure stock drags against the Yenko Nova a few years ago, and might account for the slightly quicker times). This combination can run in the mid 13's and possibly 13.20's in optimum conditions. The mph with this stock configuration is generally in 101-102 range, with 106+ in optimum conditions.

A Yenko Nova with open headers, 8 inch slicks, and 'J'hook traction bars has run a 12.39 without tuning. I think low 12's are surely within range after some good tuning. I do not know of anyone currently running one of these cars with this combination, so it is hard to tell exactly what they can do.

If you have the rear sway bar option on your Nova, it's worth almost a tenth in the 60' time with stock tires.
Hope this helps,
Marlin
