O/SA questions

It's I'm just trying to figure out if it's worth trying to pursue. The o car or jump to a i of j with a 4bbl

I think it would tough for any 2 Brl. combo to compete with
a Big four barrel combo like my 318 Thermoquad
@ 230HP in O/SA........Spinning 7000 RPM plus when
required!

Just my .02

It's really starting to look like I'm going to have to belly up to the bar and run I or j.

Ya know, this is "one of those" combos that should be getting more help from NHRA. The comparisons have been made to the 70 combo and the 75 combo should be rated less. But that being said, the 75 combo should be able to easily go under the index and if P259 is your number then you're in Div. 2? Unless you're planning on going to Indy, then I wouldn't be worried about heads-up runs in O.

I agree with Billy, if you are indeed from D-2 O/SA would be a good place to hide! D-2 is loaded with killer fast H-I-J cars. Good luck and enjoy yourself.

P259 is my track number I'm d5 bandimere. To be honest I'm looking at doing our stock super stock combo and some divisional stuff as of now no mationals. Btw just filed for my NHRA comp number yesterday.

If you speak to anyone at NHRA HQ, you might want to ask them to fix the Classification Guide for the '75 Nova - no shipping weights are listed for that model, just a repeat of the lb.-per-HP/factor chart.

Good Luck with your project, but just remember that this is supposed to be "FUN", and when it stops being "FUN" we need to find something else to do!
