I fianly have my 1976 nova togather. 350 TH350 tranie still runing the quadjet..need beter carb... but will do for first pass. Fianly got it not to bog down when I put my foot down hard. Instaled 2 turbo muflers. Got to love that rumble. Everything else is stock. Tomorow the local track is celebrateing the 4th and around 3pm they are leting who ever wants to make a few passes to do so for just $10. The track is just 1/8 mile and still not expecting much. But i am excieted. This is my first real racecar build. In my lifetime I have only made 3 or 4 passes and not on a powerful car. This should be fun!! I will post times and speeds on monday. Have fun guys and thanks for the help.

OK I know that this is not to impressive yet, but here are the stats for this weekend.
1/8th mile. 10.235 @ 78mph. reaction time is .523sec. 10.121 @ 82mph. reaction time is .498sec. 10.098 @ 83mph. reaction time is .451sec.
I know my reaction time will improve as I get to know the car beter. As a noob with a stock 350, I think thease stats are respectable. Now I konw where I am at I can see how I improve as I add things.
