Jim
Lets be real who ever built your car Looked at the book and built it cause it was a soft combo.Now in my opinion your car is the worlds fastest Volora in H/Sa.. I dont recall as a kid as a Volora being anything but a taxi or a cop car..Easy no offense intended..Also I dont believe you are rated at 280 like me..So congrats on Jeff leaving H/sa ..I will just go where he aint instead of crying. You know there is class in Charlette are you going?Im there already.

James I run the same combo in an aspen. We are not rated @ 280 we are rated @ 284! That is the lowest 360 ci rating in a F-body Mopar. they go up to 309! from a factory rate of 160. Then they rate that magnum 360 with the hi rise aluminum intake, roller cam, 1000 cfm t-body, roller rocker,flat top piston, magnum large port rt head motor the same 284? YEAH RIGHT!!!! Hell your nova combo is WAY softer than we are plus there are a lot better superceded parts plus more R&D than on our combo. Lets face it its not like no one is building small block chevys with a 3 spd auto..the most common combo in drag racing!) Plus you can actually get good chassis parts like shocks & springs and other parts.. when was the last time you tried finding trick front shocks for a f-body mopar.I know we picked our poison but no one else should be favored cause they spent big bucks on a factory ringer!

Yeah Jim,I know about the Calvert shocks. The prototype set is on Angelo Phillips' m/sa volare' Right now as we are testing them for John.But we cant call up Summit and order QA1 stocker shocks or moroso trick springs like he can.Hell a good set of torsion bushings cost us $400.00. He can get parts @ 7/11 minimarts his stuff is so common. What year are you claiming? because 76/77 can run @ 284 with the small cam combo.

Thanks for all the concern. I didn't want to be in H this year, but the weight rule kept me there. We all know it's a little soft, but if you think it is that easy, come on in. I have one original 360 DP left and it is for sale. If my numbers are right, I stay at the same weight at the very top of F and not upset the car. I can run 10.90 all day and not get anyone mad. Now for all you record keepers, on the final in the CIC race, I lost 7 in 60' and ran 10.53. That translates to about 10.39 to 41. I was borderline light and had little oil in the car, all in on everything. There weren't no more.
