Update, Well rather than keep hijacking the mshaw thread, here is a continuation on the Gonkulation of gbauer's car.
Way back up on pg1 of this thread I had Gonkulated Torq 231 at 2800 Powr 174 at 4300 2.66 11.44 at 63.0 17.78 at 76.9 10.4 0-60mph This was for a stock 250, 8.5cr, Langdon iron headers, offy intake, 390 Holley.
gbauer asked about the next steps - Lump port and cam (I tried a mile one 194-204-110), same 8.5cr Torq 257 at 3300 Powr 211 at 4700 2.60 still a dog here 10.97 at 66.4 16.96 at 81.6 I remember celebrating when my 122cid Pinto broke into the 16s back in 1981. Its like a v8 car breaking into the 14s, same feeling of accomplishment.
Ok, next the 200-4r 200-4r, no other changes 2.32 10.20 at 68.6 16.06 at 82.6 8.1 0-60mph this was fast enough to mess with 390 Galaxies back in the day....
With the overdrive I swapped out the 3.08 gears (guessing that's whats in there now?) for a 3.55 posi 2.21 10.01 at 68.0 15.84 at 83.8 7.7 0-60mph I have a 200-4r sitting on the floor waiting to go into my own Nova, this is reminding me why I want to do that. Well over a second quicker when you take advantage and re-gear it for the overdrive.
