It is a 74 Nova 406 sbc 12.0 compression, 252/260 solid roller,Edelbrock Victor and a 850 carb. He was running 12.20@109 in our crappy DA (6000-9000ft). He swapped for some race ready AFR 210's on it (not the comp 210's) and now he runs 11.50's @116, just from a head swap.
After porting the W.P heads, the port volume was about the same.
Get some AFR's, and you won't be disappointed!
that motor sounds like its a little lame for what it is? i had a lot less cam, cubes and compression and out mph'd that in my vette..
But, did you do it in a 6000-9000 ft DA ?
If that fella in the Nova drove off that mountain to a sea level track, it would run another 5 mph minimum and probably more like 8-10 mph faster. An 11.50 car at that elevation & DA is an easy 10 second car at sea level.
