Here's something I found interesting today after going to the 1/8 for some TnT.
My fallen friends Nova today ran the best with 680hp, 11:1 523 BBC at 6.89@102mph
A couple of years ago my 11:1 406 Vortec SBC ran 6.82@99mph.
Now I know I didn't make that much hp but I honestly thought with that much power his old car would run at least 6.60's, so after today I am very proud of my little 406 that had Stockish heads with mild porting, small hyd. flat tappet cam, $59 headers and stock rocker arms,
The 523 BBC has Bowtie aluminum heads, Dart intake and has some of the best parts money can buy. I need to put that engine back in my car again so I can go head to head with this Nova, it has a few more mph on me but that does not win the race. Long live the SBC FTW!
