Dam those are some good numbers coming from your nova.
If you dont mind, could you give me alittle more info on your motor and combo I.E cam, compression, carb, intake, gears, tiresetc.
I know of several 496's that are running as fast or faster than some 540's and up BBC's
Are you running any power adders?
I've got a N/A 496 BBC in a fairly light 69 camaro #2800lb
My best ET so far - 5.65 / 1.29 sixty - footbraking @ a tad short 1/8 mile track.
