It even still has the factory Nova SS steering wheel, factory throttle pedal, factory fuse box AND starts with a key.
It’s plain and simple. Post a picture of it on the scales and Prove it. For once in your life tell the truth to back up your claims.

I bet you don't know anyone with a Nova with a sbc, that has 165 lb springs on the back.
That's because you don't know anyone who has to work as hard as I do, with 300 lbs of ballast in the trunk, in order to go that slow.
They all have name brand crate engines like you, that go 105 - 106 mph ,no ballast.

The estrogen levels (emotional responses ignoring evidence & logic) are getting high in here ladies.
It's right at 3500 lbs in Super Pro bracket trim, with 300 lbs ballast in the trunk.

At 3500 lbs this is what it runs 3.89 gear.
Show me a big name crate engine builder sbc 6.40 or slower, that goes 109 mph.
At any weight, you can't.
Anyway you slice it, this is the fastest out of the box Brodix / AFR 23 cylinder head n/a sbc in the world.

I can safely say no one will show up with a time slip 6.40 or slower n/a sbc, 3000 plus lbs, with a faster mph.
113 or 109 mph.
MPH is power right?
Home built engine & transmission, who's faster? Nobody.
Believe me, I think it's pretty funny too.

That's because you are to stupid to know when people are laughing at you not with you. What happened to your claims to be the only car in the fives?

Nobody's ever been in the fives n/a @ 3200 lbs with a set of out of the box Brodix 23 T1 or AFR 23, except the Ripper Nova.
There's another claim I can safely make, no one will show up saying otherwise, toting a slip as evidence.
Believe me it is comical, and the jokes on you.
Let's throw this out there too, has any NHRA sbc Stocker or Super Stocker gone faster to the 60 ft, than the Ripper on a 10 x 28 bias?... No!This message has been edited. Last edited by: Mike Rietow,

You need to People are calling you on your BS. How many cubic inches are you??? There are more than a few 9 inch tire cars in A and AA stock going faster than you with stock parts with less lift/ mechanical cams and less compression and probably 300 or more heavier than you! My old 427+60 has gone mid 6.40’s @106 with a 1.30 60 foot at 3610# Stockers impress me, your shyt don’t! Have a seat cupcake.

Or how about this, any tire on any sbc NHRA Stock or Super Stocker, no wheely bar.
How many have been faster to the 60 ft than the Ripper Nova, no wheely bar?
None, zero

How did this conversation go from talking about cars that can go 1.0 or faster to the 60, to talking about SLOW box cars?

Sorry guys! I’ll keep it on the bottom side of 1.00 with the GTO. I still ain’t impressed with triple lips.

When the thread first started we were talking about fast cars, not about 6.50 1/8 mile cars. Am i missing something?

You didn’t miss anything 329. As usual one derails the conversations .
Best 60 foot with our Haas GTO is .980. We've been testing new tires with Hoosier. I passed on info to help Jenevet and others. 33.5x17 106 rollout and I don’t know if that tire will be 110 rollout.

gotcha.
I also appreciate the info. Hopefully, Hoosier or Mickey can come up with something useful.

I'm guessing left coast bendover for the vaccine Billy hasn't been successful in finding a sbc no wheely bar NHRA stocker or Super Stocker, to out pace the Ripper to the 60ft.
Of course he didn't, never will either. Not with a sbc no wheely bar .
The DA was 2700 when The Ripper went 1.27, had plenty left. It would've went low, low 1.20 on radials easy.

For my next trick, no one else has done, I'll turn this 109 mph into 112 mph 6.40 or slower, on a 26 x 8.5" tire Super Pro. I got everything to do it, in stock.
