Default Re: same old question with a twist

Tommy, take that 307 and slap in a .440 lift crane cam and a set of headers with a good performer intake, and 600cfm 4brl. I had a 307 in my first Nova with a turbo 350 and a 2.73 open rear. It also had an HEI ignition in it that would fire up without a full turn of the key. My best time was a 15.1 at 95mph. If you read about the 325hp 327's of 1969, my car was about 4 tenths off. I was running street tires and no traction bars. And I had highway gears, not 3,55's.

Just something to think about. Remember, you have a destroked 327 in that car. Don't do the 1/8th overbore or you will scrap the block.

The car will sound good, and it has a little pep to it too without getting all crazy.
