Umm these times don't seem right for a 427 in a Nova. I have documentation of a friends 1969 L78 Nova, 4sp and 4.88s I believe, ran 11.70s back then with tuned carb, distributor recurve open headers and slicks.

why do you think it was called Protest II? With the times he was running I bet he got protested/torn down a lot.

Plus as a speed shop owner you would expect him to be quicker than the average Joe.
