One day I would like to feel those tires grow in high gear. Such a cool experience to share that few people would ever think of. On the few passes I have made in my wagon I could tell little things that I didn't think about before running down the track. I created a laundry list of things to change.62bis you never got used to going that fast. I admit it did take me about 5-6 passes to get to where I could notice different things happening in the car. After about 10-12 passes I could answer all questions that were ask by car owner and give him info on that the car was doing. I loved it. Never got boring. Could even feel the rear tires grow in high gear. Good times. Miss those days.
And the car was.............that's probably pretty accurate to the way the driver sees it. I couldn't imagine going that fast. the fastest I've ever gone in the 1/4 is 8.23@168mph and it was over before I even knew it.

I'd be scared of 555bbc but 400hp shot of NOS is crazy! How do I get there. LOL!1969 Nova with a 555bbc, turbo 400, 10.5w tire, with a 400hp shot of NOS.
thank you. it was a fun car to drive. a handful to say the least. I sold that car quite a few years ago and now I have a 71 satellite that runs 9.20's@148mph. it's a much heavier car but lots more fun to drive. the wife has a 68 camaro that runs 11.50's@115mph on 90 octane.Looks like a well set up car .
the camaro has a 383sbc, turbo 400 manual valve body with transbrake, leaf spring suspension with with cal tracs and a 12 bolt posi with 3.42 gears. we run it on 90 octane at 10.8cr. eddie victor jr heads and a hydraulic roller cam. the satellite has a 499 bb mopar on a rb aluminum block, 727 manual valve body and I foot brake it. it's a heavy car with full interior, leaf springs with slide-a-link, through the mufflers out back, indy-1 heads, solid roller cam, dana 60 spooled with 4.10 gears, 10.5w tire. 13.8cr on 118 race gas and a 300hp shot of NOS that is progressed in slowly. tried to post a couple videos but I couldn't get them to load.Tell us a bit about the Satelite and the Camaro.
