beautiful car! the 67 nova is one of my favorite musclecars and is on my list to own before i die.

just wondering, why does he have two tachometers?

 

[blueflamed03]

not sure why he does.....

but yea, if I had the extra cash, I'd buy this one from him....great street car, runs outstanding, sounds good...

Sweet ride! I know you mentioned 10.80s on motor, but is it juiced at all, or completely n/a?

 

[nytahoe]

wow thats crazy... i like lol im building a 85 monte carlo ss with a 460 bbc right now. its a street car with 8.8:1 that should be under 12's and a 100 shoot going on later.

 

[blueflamed03]

JK, they have NOS on it now, plans to spray it with 150 shot.

nytahoe, man, bump that compression to 9.5:1, you'll see an increase right there...

 

[nytahoe]

i know but its going to be a street car it just a toy plus i can run on 87

 

[Sasquatch]

i have 9.5:1 in my small block thats in my pickup and run 87 octane without any problems even when i`m towing.

i`d do what blueflamed03 said and bump up your compression. i had a 468 BBC in my chevelle with just under 10.5:1 and had no problems running 91-93 octane. like everyone told me when i was debating which blackbear tune to go with on my yukon, the 87 or 91. the difference in a tank of 87 to 91 is about 4-5 dollars. it`s well worth it to go higher.

heck I ran 11:1 daily with my 406

What gears did u have and hp and lbs of car.

 

[blueflamed03]

was a '70 truck, 3500 stall and 4.11 gears...had to run 93 octane daily. Added 110 at track, and bumped the timing up a tad.
