I think it would be pretty cool to see Pete's Nova and Casey's W-31 duke it out!

I would rather see that matchup than the ole' "Buick vs. Hemi" any day !

It's just a matter of time

OH GREAT !!!

It's not gonna come to a drag strip near me that's in Ohio, is it ?? You really need to work on that white COPO to compete with those SA boyz instead. Leave me and my harmless Lansing ride alone. I picture you in a Camaro anyway ..... you don't look as good in a Nova......yea, that's it.

I pulled the old MCR article from 1997, Pete's COPO Nova ran a best of 13.79 @ 101.94. In 1998, Pete's COPO Nova ran a best of 13.64 @ 101.47, and Neal Robbin's Yenko Nova ran a best of 13.81 @ 102.06. To my knowledge, 1998 was the last year a COPO Nova was run at the pure stock drags.

The best times so far were Pete's drag radial test session where he was running in the 13.20's (I think) with belted rubber, and Neal's time of 13.45 @ 106+.

Yes,12.9 on drag radials and 13.22 on poly's are my best so far! But there is more. Anyone got a Michigan map!

Yep - see, the Nova is faster ..... you can just rest easy, and FOCUS on the Camaro. I bet that white COPO would look REALLY nice up against those other SA cars ..... you should really not worry about the Nova, it will always be there ..... that Camaro needs to spank some more folks. << Focus - Focus - Focus >>

The problem with the deuces, like most stock cars, is in the 60' time. One theory we are kicking around is to change the Holley pump cam profile to one that is leaner / slower / smoother at lower RPM, this way it doesn't hit the tires so hard and make them spin. The 780 Holley is WAY too big for the LT1, we could go faster if we could decrease the venturi's and increase the velocity / efficiency. (or so our theory goes!)

We need someone to to dyno their LT1 with the 780, and then swap on a 600 or 650 Holley. Anyone?? Bueller, Bueller, BuPETEller!!
