Now we are getting somewhere! Great info, Sam! What was the Nova's "average" 60 foot time with the 12.56 setup? What exhaust were you running?

Rob, In the old days, I don't remember Maple Grove Dragway with 60 ft. timers back then. I forgot to mention I had Lakewood traction bars. Really the key to everything is the right combination. I had a set of Casler headers, and I made a set of 6 inch collectors and bolted them on. I truly think to this day with a set of 488's I could of put this car in the 11's. The car weighed 3250lbs to run small brute eliminator. Nothing trick, just a real good hone job on the cylinders, and good basic head work.
