CLASS RACER FORUM - H-I-J '76 Nova re-fit.

Great video, guys. I watched this race on DR.TV

What are the two switches she hits just after the waterbox?
Who's idea was the glitter ball? That would drive me nuts.I have a couple of Dilbert dolls for my dash. One is The Pointy Haired Boss and the other is Catbert Evil HR Director.

She shuts off the fan and the alternator. She calls it the disco nova so she put a disco ball in there, she doesn't typically have distraction issues.

Drop a Ford 302 in it. Call it the BOSS-a-Nova....

Can't class race that build...

Nope, never gonna happen, recall the Reher-Morrison Maverick that ran in Modified with a Chevy 302 and was referred to as "The Real Boss 302" LMAO !

Great video!
Burnouts look good and look better progressively.
Does it seem that the shift points are a little too low?
Beautiful race car!
Autumn is a very cool kid!

Have you tried shifting lower......those engines don't make power up that high.

Glenn,
Do you agree that In the video it sounds like it wants more RPM at the shift point?

I agree that it likes what it likes to go fast period.Would need to see dyno sheet to get started on what it might like.

I would say they ought to reverse the 1-2 rpm with the 3-4.

This wouldn't be from a dyno sheet..Just experience.
