Hi Mike,
I saw pictures of the Split Bumber Camaro on CarDomain, looks
real nice. Are you planning more modifications to the engine?

I just put a 383 in and nitrous, carried it to the track tonite and only got 1 run then they closed. It was horrible I rolled through the lights then mashed it It took off hard pulled both front tires harder than ever but I messed up my shifting real bad. Going to rockingham tommorow to see if I can get the new motor dialed. should be very low 11's on motor (maybe 10's) Im gonna have fun I hope and get to play with spray some after I get it figured out N/A

Mike,
Good luck sorting out the new combination, it sounds like a beast. When looking
through the site be sure to check out the 67 Camaro Thread. There you will find
pictures of several of our cars and this link to a youtube of Rookie's Nova:

Nice looking cars, the nova took off hard! I went to rockingham last night and got a gear limited 11.14 @ 121.X and 7.13 @ 98.X with a new best 60' of 1.591. my 4.10's and 26" tires didnt like the 1/4 much

The MPH shows your making good HP, wheel spin? What transmission?

Your making the power needed to get into the 10's, work on the 60ft times.

All the launches were on motor, I was hittting the spray a little ways out. I was playing with a 100 shot at 850 psi and it was a blast! Really the times I ran are close to what I wanted on motor so IM a little disapointed in my motor right now. I need to do alot of tuning. My old 355 started out 12.3 in the 1/4 and after a year I finally got it down to 11.62. Im sure I'll get more out of the new 383 just hate waiting!
