No John, Just that Bob takes his time and picks a combo out of the guide and makes it work. Dont matter what brand, there are still combos that are odd but no one will take the chance to try them. Ralph Truppi did it back in the day with alot of odd picks folks thought would not run the number.

Kind of a one of a kind.
I havent seen many of them .
Hhmmmmm?

What the hell brought that on? My car? Soft? I don't think so! It's rated more than any other combo in the class. Better do your homework.There are plenty of Chevies out there that can clean my clock heads up. Oh and it's a Volare and there are many of them out there. Jim

I with you Jim, at least he is out of H Not that I think I would have run into him. I sure couldn't out run him, unless I put a blower on,... yea thats it, I am putting a blower on....LOL

Here James, this guy right here can clean my clock any time he wants! Do I think Gary's car is underrated? Nope! Jim

Blower huh? Yeah, sounds like a MoPar factory option to me.

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 Hell your nova combo is WAY softer than we are plus there are a lot better superceded parts plus more R&D than on our combo.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!

aspen7709 · 03-20-2011, 08:12 PM

P.S. James its VOLARE' you know like Dean Martin ITALIAN ' VOLARE' LOL! arent you italian???

James, you are right about one thing. My 360 is not rated at 280 like yours. It's rated at 289. I told you to do your homework before you posted that my combo was "soft". If mine is "soft" at 289 what does that make yours at 280? I'm not crying but it sound like you are.
BTW Are you calling me out? Jim

aspen7709, I have been trying to get John Calvert to make some front shocks for us for two years now! maybe by this summer.

aspen7709 · 03-21-2011, 12:44 PM

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.
