Jesse,
The two fastest 68/69/70 Novas I've seen belong to the Koppien family and Clark Holroyd. For more and better information on this, you should really talk to Steve and Mike Koppien, Keith Lynch, and Clark Holroyd. All are great people, and friendly, helpful racers. And besides, if you want to go fast with a 396/375 Nova, or a 396/375 anything for that matter, you're going to need to talk to Clark about his carburetors and his rocker system, we use both.

You can find Keith and the Koppiens here on this board. And you can get Clark's contact information on the board, or from Keith or the Koppiens. I think Clark has been as fast as a 10.15 or so in A, and I'd bet the Koppiens car has been close to that, or maybe better. I do not recall seeing an unfactored 9 second pass in a Stock legal Nova. That does not mean it cannot be done, it just means I have not seen one posted anywhere.
