Attention Nova 350/255 stock combo.

James Perrone · 09-10-2019, 01:38 PM

Does anyone know the Horsepower average? For 350/255 combo Nova
This weekend someA-hole banged the combo hard
On 2 Redlights. WTF. Combo may be toast.
Need to know

Well Ponko, you could always make it a 300. If the 255 does get tagged, it will probably be the same factor as a 300.

In one of last years averages released stats they show the 69 Camaro and Nova grouped together with the 255 engine. Not sure if this changed or not.

Averaging the 7 runs makes it 10.934 for the day. That’s a -.916 average for the outing. This guy did NOTHING to the combo. LOL.

Now who is the A-hole?

Billy Harper. Green nova. On. 2. Redlights. Omfg
And the shame of it it’s not a 1969 nova.
Billy Nees. if someone will sponsor the head change.

The Novas are separate from the Camaros as per Pat C. Different platforms.

James, mid year avg was .676

jamie2370 · 09-10-2019, 03:28 PM

Looks like only 6hp between the 300 and 255 on the nova

You have to look at all the classes the combo fits in....and # of flagged runs >1 under.

Here is my take on this, moving the indexes does nothing it moves it for ever one accomplishes nothing except make slow cars pick it up. Moving the triggers only helps the fast guys from getting hp and not letting the ahfs work at all. The biggest hinder on the ahfs is NHRA posting the spread sheet avg that helps everyone control the avg's. Lets go back to the root cause of the main problem factor the car right. Yes the ahfs does not work fast enough. When a car can get hit with hp 4 times and still be able to qualify #1 then some thing is wrong. So NHRA if you are listening quite giving info to the fast guys to help control the avg's, make the hp hits harder more then 3.25% at a time. I am sure i will get crap over this, this weekend at the races.
