Phil and JB,
BAD---both me and My Son kept missing 2nd gear ( I think I damaged the linkage Saturday ) I asked Jim Johnson from Canada (Silver L-89 NOVA) to make a pass with my Z-28 to see how he'd do and he missed 2nd and 4th gear and still ran a 15.30. He adjusted the shifter, set the timing and adjusted the valves. But by now it was warm and the track was slick and we ran a couple of low 15's at 99 MPH. The car pulled good and shifted at 7500 rpm's. The problem with the 302 is you have to rev it hard at the line but then it fries the small tires. They need headers and slicks. As for a Fun Factor my son will try to post a video clip. Jim's Nova ran 12.40 (2nd place) and his friend with the white COPO (Zl-1 Engine) won with a 12.20.
