OH GREAT !!!

It's not gonna come to a drag strip near me that's in Ohio, is it ?? You really need to work on that white COPO to compete with those SA boyz instead. Leave me and my harmless Lansing ride alone. I picture you in a Camaro anyway ..... you don't look as good in a Nova......yea, that's it.

I pulled the old MCR article from 1997, Pete's COPO Nova ran a best of 13.79 @ 101.94. In 1998, Pete's COPO Nova ran a best of 13.64 @ 101.47, and Neal Robbin's Yenko Nova ran a best of 13.81 @ 102.06. To my knowledge, 1998 was the last year a COPO Nova was run at the pure stock drags.

The best times so far were Pete's drag radial test session where he was running in the 13.20's (I think) with belted rubber, and Neal's time of 13.45 @ 106+.

Yes,12.9 on drag radials and 13.22 on poly's are my best so far! But there is more. Anyone got a Michigan map!

Yep - see, the Nova is faster ..... you can just rest easy, and FOCUS on the Camaro. I bet that white COPO would look REALLY nice up against those other SA cars ..... you should really not worry about the Nova, it will always be there ..... that Camaro needs to spank some more folks. << Focus - Focus - Focus >>

The problem with the deuces, like most stock cars, is in the 60' time. One theory we are kicking around is to change the Holley pump cam profile to one that is leaner / slower / smoother at lower RPM, this way it doesn't hit the tires so hard and make them spin. The 780 Holley is WAY too big for the LT1, we could go faster if we could decrease the venturi's and increase the velocity / efficiency. (or so our theory goes!)

We need someone to to dyno their LT1 with the 780, and then swap on a 600 or 650 Holley. Anyone?? Bueller, Bueller, BuPETEller!!

Marlin .... you can stop already !!!

Pete is quite content with his BB cars .... us SB guys are like box-elder bugs ..... always around, and you can't get rid of us.

Pete doesn't have time to spend on that LT-1, he has chickens to raise - - mold in their adulthood - - make them into pure, wholesome poultry for our consumption..... He need not bother himself with sucha trivial endeavor as dyno'ing an LT-1 .... we all know it's fast. Let's just leave it at that ...... PLEASE !!!!

[Casey Marks]

WHEW .......

Just lemmie know what kinda donations .... monitary or otherwise that it takes for you to keep walking RIGHT on by that LT-1 in your garage.......... Like NIKE says ..... "Just DON'T Do It" ......

[COPO PETE]

Marlin......funny you should mention that. Dale Amy, Tom Shaw and I were discussing that very thing. Was in the works till MCR got axed. Time will tell!
Relax Casey, The ZL-1 will get the attention first.
