So I got the Nova going and didn't cut the hood. I took one trip to Siloam to my buddies shop 20 miles away as a shake down cruise. No problems.
So he says lets go to Tulsa. We take the 731 Hp Elky, an 84 Vette, Monte SS, Ford lightning a bike...
Well I drove the Nova 80 Miles to Tulsa on the second trip it's ever made.
!st pass no time but a Win!
2nd pass a 13.8 on street tires thru the exhaust and a Win!
3rd pass it went 13.3 @ 105 MPH on street tires thru the exhaust on a warm summer night. and i don't mean cheater slicks, i mean el cheapo depos like defenders or something
Then I turned around drove 100 miles to Siloam and then back to my house on the second trip

No tuning besides bumping the timing down a click or two.
And this is a a stock 100000+ miles dish piston bottom end, stock cast iron heads i did minimal port work to and 3.08 gears.
I bet altitude corrected that's in the 12's...and i bet some tuning and a cool night will also net 12's. Heck I haven't even touched the button yet! who knows what she might go!!
-ps-, the 84 Vette drove to Tulsa and ran 112 mph on the juice and the all steel Elky ran 9.83 @ 140 mph on the juice
