Maybe 370-385 hp, 487 head isn't exactly the best. Your valve lift is now .512", simple math -.480" divided by 1.5(stock rocker ratio for SBC) is .320" multiplied by 1.6(your new rocker ratio) equals .512"

thanks sounds good. when spraying a 100 shot what are the best times i could run in the 12s at all?

[ericnova72]

Should be able to easily with the 100 shot.

I'd be surprised to learn you aren't in the high 12s already..

i live in abq new nexico and havent ran the car yet to find out. i would like to run 12s here which coreected is in the 11's. i should be able to def get in the 13s here and hopefully 12s. i am not running gears yet and i know i need something to grab so i have found 373 true trac gears with a detroit posi for 300 bucks direct fit into my nova. thats the next on the list. do you think my car is going to come up at all? like off the line . also would my set up be good for a transbrake?
