Bingo!!!

They will squeeze into C/SA (9.90 PW Factor) with this combo too at 3095. Not sure if you can get one that light or not but interesting combo.

What I can't figure out with all the Novas running stock. All the small block combos for a 70 model are NHRA factored LESS than the oem rating but my 73/74 is hammered to like 100hp over oem rating. I know there are way more 255/350 running than my combo. Heck I have the only 74 running Stock?

That's because the OEM's changed how they rated horsepower starting around '73-'74 to what was termed S.A.E. ratings. The later engines were rated with full exhaust systems, A/C compressor, PS pump, etc. The early engines weren't 'full dressed' for their ratings. Insurance companies and emissions had a lot to do with the decreased ratings, too. -Al

They were built under COPO 9010 in both automatic and 4-speed versions. Yenko sold them as the "Deuce".

that's amazing after 51 years it shows up 360 hp factored 320 hp miracles must happen and nobody has ever run one in a nova how does that work

If there were another 1 or 2 running this year it might have helped keep the average down but Maple Grove getting shortened to 1/8 mile and a miscalculation on my part in race 2 of Virginia and well...
