This channel is mostly videos of living the American dream. Football hits from turkey bowls, drag racing, and motorcycle riding. I need to video some big time fishing one of these days.
I have an update to the quickest 1/4 mile ET in my Nova. I made my first 10 second pass on 10/16/13. The car went 1.52 60 ft, 6.92 1/8, and 10.956 @ 120.9. Boom! no videos though :(
The new best is 10.06 @ 133.6 MPH, 1.44 60' with a 3.25 rear gear and 4400 converter @ 3560 lbs.
Update Dec 2020
My Nova "Lucy" has now made it into the 9s. 9.96 on the engine and 9.62 on n2o
Update following 2023 racing season
New best on nitrous 9.33 @ 144.09 and that had my first 5 second 1/8 mile at 5.94 @116.6 mph

SRBBPA second place finish at drag week 2024 with 1972 Nova BBC 496 NX Express pro power plate
Strange day, started out at a gas pump that would work for 20 minutes then get to the tack and the bolts for the shifter bracket along the transmission pan fell out.
I decide not to go for a record and relax for the better part of the day.
We catch Bryant Goldstone thrashing and sealing the victory on day 5.
What did you like about the series and what would you like to see more of or even less of?
Who knows that the car ran NA?

The program took another positive step in the direction of an 8 second pass. After a morning fog the track was ready to take some power. The meant one pass in session 1 and we made the most of it. There wasn't much thought given to waiting around 3 or so more hours to make a pass on a hot track and risk blowing the tires off. this was more than enough to keep us firmly in second place.

early start gives way to Lucy being a piece of work. We showed up as the sun was rising and made a pass just before all run ended. I left some of the footage just to show the car was running a long time and concerns grew and ultimately changed our day Did the Blasphemi wheelie screw us or was it a blessing? it absolutely had a ripple effect on our day.

I always wanted to try Titanium rods what do you think about this type of rods
@alanhale6494 I have never talked to anyone about them. I've talked to the people at Molnar during PRI. I've run their stuff before in a 496. This engine is more max effort than the 496 so I stepped up the rod and this is my first longer rod on 4.25 stroke.
what did it run Naturally Aspirated?
@scottmcmullen7541 I might make that part of a tshirt contest.
Your advanced age?! Lol!
How much ya spraying? 250-300 ish?
@jasonquartermile425 for the Havlik race I started at 300 and had some jets that would be 300-350. That's what I kept for drag week. They are not officially recognized by manufacturer's chart.
@@bure4me Thanks a lot man! I have a 240z with a 496 that's almost the exact same setup, I was thinking a 300 shot should get me 8s since I'm 3000lb w/o driver. Love the channel. Keep it old school!
Hey big block Bob, geat videos. Waiting for day 5. We were there too. Blue 64 nova sreet machine class. It was a good Drag week.
Pretty sure I've seen a rolling pic of your car. Did we pass you at some point?
Yes, in one of your earlier videos. Great shots! Thanks!
Great Meeting you at Milan and sharing info . I love the car, cant wait to see your next combo!
@scottmcmullen7541 I got news news from Mahle last Friday. I'm probably doing a piece a week for a month then a discussion about it in a longer video.
Nice 💪🏾

Congrats buddy! Looking good! And props to your crew chief for keeping the ship running in schedule!
Nice 60ft Bob! What are you running for shocks and springs at all 4 corners and how does it ride on the street? Looks like you are one cool fall weather day away from the 8's!
@1972novabill just installed strange s5063 dbl adj up front. 3 way CE in the rear, Calvert split mono 2" drop, 1/4 turn of preload. Inhave Calvert 9 way for rear but they are soft on street when I'm loaded down for draf and drive. CE are set to 50-50 and ride much better
@@bure4me do you back off your cal tracs for when you leave the track?
@@1972novabill I do not.
what rear Gear do you run Bob?
@@scottmcmullen7541 3.50 with 255x60x15 Drag radial at 18 psi
Nice Bob. I noticed you went thru the traps at about 7000 rpm. You still running a 3.50 gear on 28's?
@Johnson-uy9xq 3.50 gears 255x60x15 is listed as 27" tall. 18 lbs of pressure so 26 and change for height most likely
Man congratulations, that's dope
@infamousnova thanks. 2 events coming up late October and early Nov where I plan to break 150 mph and get an 8.9x.
@@bure4me gonna spray more?
@@infamousnova I'm expecting good prep and better DA. I will add more jet if necessary
Im considering a BBC NOS drag week build because of simplicity, would you reccomend or not?
@@BBFOX514 that's why I do it, simple. It takes more power than you think if the car is heavy or the tire size doesn't allow full power at launch.
@@bure4me How reliable are the motors? I hear the big HP nitrous motors can be rough on valvetrain. Any disadvantages that you know of?
@BBFOX514 depends on power level. I'm showing over 900 hp by mph and weight. I just run a hydraulic roller under .670 lift. It will crack the 8s but I'll need a parachute to turn in a 150 mph pass. Better chassis might hit 8s without cracking 150. If you want to run 7s at 3500-3600 lb that's a different deal than I'm working with. I do have plans to increase power and probably hit 160 mph on a 255x60 or maybe a 275x60 drag radial at nearly 3600 lbs.

Well Done hoping all is easier but we love those big block nitrous cars. Electrical and heat close quarters always an adventure !!! I pull my 496 went 540 and both engines are moody but fast...lol.
@stephenmitchell3569 "moody but fast", isn't that the truth!
Wow! Now that's a sweet scooter! 😊
Hold my beer
Seen some of your passes on other channels. I was wondering also how much spray you was using as the nova was getting down for sure. 300 shot would do it. I'm tempted also to spray a little.
I drove 45 minutes to grab a th400 transmission.😆
How much are you spraying? Love the content. I actually have a similar combo (496 11:1 0.714 cam) in a 240Z so I've been following your channel for a bit. Any reason you don't wind it out a little more? Congrats on the 1k subscribers too.
Hydraulic roller goes to 7k on the big end with 300 jets @ 148 mph. 3.50 rear gear and 255x60x15 tire.
you make nice videos and cool engine that hey, sounds like armageddon
Sweet ride.. good luck
I always had Big Block Starter problems i think its to close to the headers heat kills them but what can you do
Same, the old heavy duty ones from the 90s would last a couple years then heat soak starting issues became more frequent. This engine has a lot of compression and makes some heat.
Good first day, good luck the rest of the week!
Give it all you got out there
@lucaswallace9885 we made a good lick. Not a best but right there. On the road already
Sweet car bro!
A lot of cool cars.
You know afco sells that ring
@infamousnova surprisingly that was the easy part to get. It moves the mounting point close to a 1/2 inch lower. That takes some extension away and this shock was already a little shorter than the CE 3 ways I took off. I've had them in a box for a couple years. This was kind of a rush job for drag week. I probably should have waited.
I have an extra 496 so it's interesting to see your set up. I replaced the 496 with a 540 dual nitrous system. I'm going to tear down the 496 and cam to my choice and make sure it's a happy engine...lol
@stephenmitchell3569 for the longest time it's been about low maintenance and reliability. My cam has been installed since 2018. It has a ton of the drag and drive events under it's belt, inclusive 2019 when I drove from STL to 800 miles to the track in Pueblo Co. We did the 1200 mile event and drove home in an 10 day span. I need to run an 8 now because it's expensive to stay nhra compliant.
Nice piece. Makes a lot of power.
