Took my Nova to the track Thursday night with the 350 in place of my 414; Yawn. I guess it's not that bad considering what it is-.030 over 350, about 8.5-1 comp., stock heads, Crane hyd. cam(.454 lift)Performer RPM Airgap w/775cfm Demon RS(way too big)exhaust too big, converter too much,etc........
With jetting all out of whack(the only power valves I have are 3.5, 4, 4.5)
It puttered down at [email protected] mph in the 1/8. I re-installed the 600 cfm Edelbrock that came on the engine and it feels much stronger except for a massive bog from the torn up accelerator pump plunger--This Thursday I'll give it another try with the carb dialed in.
I obviously didn't win the wheelie contest with my 1.71 60 ft. It was really painful to watch the contest--The highest car was about 6 inches!!!
