Inliner member Matt Carmone ( pic in the archives here ) has a 70 Nova that ran in mid to low 14's. Car had full interior trim and wasn't lightened. I don't know all the engine details but a LOT was done to it and ran a TH350 with a convertor and 4.56's in the rear. It also had nitrous although I don't know what the shot was or how often he pushed the button. He once told me that to go any quicker and break into the 13's he had to lighten the car up and he didn't want to do that. He has since stopped racing it and detuned it slightly to make it better for street driving.
I guess this proves the point that you can have a race car or you can have a street car but you can't always have it both ways, it will always be a compromise somewhere.
