Default Re: 69 L-78 Nova 8456 org miles

Awesome Nova but to run 11.30's a number of things probably were changed:

Headers
Smog System Removal
4.56 or 4.88 gears
Traction Bars
Valve Springs (If you are smart) and/or Cam

With this kind of use, the following can happen:

Dropped Valve, broken valve springs
Torn up syncro teeth on trans
Cracked Aluminum Muncie trans case
Bent leaf springs from traction bars
Tweaked Body from 6000 RPM launches
Twisted Axles, etc.

I know from experience.

How does this car compare? What mods were done to run the number? Thanks,

Paul
