64 nova for superstock?

[Wade_Owens]

It's a natural R in stock now. With the 5hp reduction, it took an additional 83 lbs off of the combo. It should be right at 1 second slower than the 4gc 220/217 combo, from what a couple of knowledgible guys have said.

64 65 and 66 Nova 2-door Looks to me like a natural P car and up or down to O ,or , Q...283/195/170. I figured a mid 16.57 weight break. Wade must have figured a Chevelle body w/17.63 wt break....

[283nova]

so what else is in o and p car wise?

what the combo for L

[danny waters sr]

In IHRA the 283 4gc combo is rated at 210 hp and would run J , K , and L... That is what my 66 4-door combo runs in ...I may try the 2 bbl combo in my car ,I already have the intake and a prepped carb

In NHRA O/stock the S-10 Chevy truck with a V-6 and the 85 Mustang with a 302-carb, 89 Mustang(conv.) with a 302-FI, and Chevelle wagon with 283-220hp. NHRA P/stock is the S-10 Truck with weight added to it to move down a class, also same 89 Mustang with weight added. Danny Walters, is the HP on the 283/220-210 on both the stick and auto. in a 65-66 chevelle body in IHRA. Thanks; J Gower stock 3058

J Gower, 210 for auto and 226 for stick on both 65 and 66 Chevelle.......................................... .................................................. ............................................Q/SA combo is what i may try , it is only 60 lbs heavier than i am with the 4gc. If it is a second slower with the 2bbl , i may can go 80 - 90 under . That is comparing what i run now . I also think it would be a better 1/8 mile combo.

like ive mentioned bfore guys i apprecciate the help. i might be a new comer to the class but not the sport. once i get out of school its build time. i just want to get my ducks in a row.

No GT is just claiming another engine combo you don't have to change anything on your car. Ed

[283nova]

i meant if i claimed 65 for regular superstock,

but in GT i know it says can run any engine as long as its the same make as the body.

whic in that case, wouldnt it be better to claim 67?? then you could have a q-jet instead of the 4gc?
