HOW MUCH HORSEPOWER?
I KNOW THIS IS SOMEWHAT OF A OPEN ENDED QUESTION BUT I AM GOING TO ASK ANYWAY..
i have a 71 nova backhalf car with a smith-racecraft tubular front end car weighs 2925 loaded,th400 right now, and a 4.30 gear..does anyone know approx how much hp it would take to get this thing into the 8.60-8.80 range?.
or is there a site that you can offer up info and get a approx number..
thanx for any input
