65 Nova SS, 400 SB de-stroked (377),
Currie 9-inch w/3.70 gears, Turbo 350 w/no trans. brake,
4K stall, stock interior and no roll bar, skinny 235/60/15
BFG drag radials. The car ran consistent 11.65's with 2.0
60 foot times with Lakewood slappers. I added the CalTracs
cause I heard they were the best from several sources. My
time dropped to 11.21 @ 118 with 1.65 60 foot, through
mufflers and 2.5" tailpipes. "HOLY COW"!!!!!!!!!!
Needless to say, the track officials weren't very happy
with my new found ET as compared to my safety equipment.
I drive the car 40 miles each way to the track and it's
driven frequently on the street.
I hope my pics can be added to your gallery. I will have
to wait till March to get drag strip pictures.
Thanks,

UPDATE: Since I submitted my red 65 Nova pictures and side note to your
gallery, I have improved my 1/4 mile times considerably. Would you mind changing
my 1/4 times to read 10.88 @ 126 w/1.57 60 foot. Everything else is correct. The
thing that stands out about my car and the CalTracs is I ran this time on
skinny 235/60/15 BFG drag radials. Amazing!!!!
Thanks for a great product!
