Rome wasn't built in a day...…nor is stock easy or cheap

It happens to be true, and just an extension of someone else's point .

Peace brother, and happy holidays.
Merry Christmas

Dano, My first reply to you is if your on a limited budget don't worry about being the fastest one out there. Go have fun and see if Stock is really what you like doing.

Now if I was going to give advice as far as your car. The first thing I would tell you is to sell the Nova and find a Camaro. You would be already .15 ahead of the game. Your 5:14 gears are the right ones. If you went with the coan your getting a great trany. Not the one I would put in my car but still a very good piece. One thing I learned years ago always try and go with the best possible parts the first time. Even if it puts you over budget. If you buy less than the best most of the time in a year or two you will be looking to put the best in your car. I just don't like spending my money twice. Good Luck with your project and remember this is supposed to be fun. BP

much to my wife's chagrin I usually DO try to buy the best, if not just for piece of mind. I changed the gearset on the Coan yesterday. Then let the misses know. Good Times!!

With that being said, I admit that purchasing the Nova was not the best foundation, but I've got it.

I've been racing for many years in the bracket classes and SST through TD. Thought this would be a fun little distraction in my retirement years. LOL!!

Anyway, I appreciate the help I've got from this forum.

Merry Christmas!!
