- Today we test our Twin Turbo destroked 6.0 L LS 1974 Chevrolet Nova at Beaver Springs Dragway and goes 8's in the 1/4 mile! We made several passes and adjusted the tune, two step rev limiter, boost levels, in our Megasquirt Goldbox ECU. The car pulled several wheelies throughout the day which was fun to watch, but we dealt with traction issues off the starting line a little bit.
Engine displacement is 328 cubic inches or 5.37 L.
Thanks for watching!! - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Seeing you and your pops work together on builds is so refreshing. Kids these days don’t appreciate their parents. I was one of them and now that my father is gone i miss him like crazy. And seeing your videos is awesome.
Nice job. Your dad's driving the hell out of that thing
Yes sirrr!👍🏿
Nothing better than to see everyone come together and have some fun keep up the good work

Man, I know some popular CZcams channels that wish they had a driver that good. Heck of a car. Hope to see it go 7s someday
dang ol boi was walking all over the track
proud of you guys
Yea that scared the piss out of me 🥺😲😂
Damn track looks like the slide at the water park lol
That's a true Sleeper race fans!
Listen to that roll....🍻
Sinister looking ride!! Music is perfect! Great driving there Dad!! Absolutely LOVE IT!!! THANK YOU!
Pop has got his hands full, so cool
Congrats on the 8.60’s, that’s a huge accomplishment. 👍🏻
Your family is a fun family "are you taking a picture or filming" lol
Beautiful car, great job guys
Wow, she is a brute! Love to see all the hard work paying off brother!
It’s a great inspiration seeing you guys make such great progress with so little. It’s nice to see what could happen without a million dollar budget :)
👍👍👍
Love to see another family racing together! ❤🙏 Stay safe but most of all have fun! ✌
The car looks great. It is a beast! Definitely amazing. Driving it would be like a rocket on your back!
Magnificent job !
Hats off to you both .
man that girl was carrying the mail good gosh
That’s nice sleeper you got there 💪👍👍
Hell yeah great work u guys keep it going and stay safe out there love the videos and work u guys are doing
Wow. You folks have built an amazing car
Great job guys!
Amazing what a 5.3 with turbos can do. I love my Fords but that's mighty impressive!
Its alive!!!!!!! what an absolute monster!!
Awesome job guys.
You guys are awesome!
Best video I have watched this weekend, Dad's doin some amazing driving, looks like it wants to go sideways at the 1/8 the mile.
Nice! Really like the transparency of this series. It's nice to see how it's done.
Wooooofff... that thing looks like a handful! Awesome fast. You guys build straight driving cars so you know for it to dance like that she is making some serious steam
Nice! Loved watching that - the inside camera was the nicest view I've seen so far, nice tree lined track helped but it's a perfect angle really felt like being there, but without my navel touching my spine. If that's 10psi down then holy cr4p! Congrats!!!
Congrats fellas. Your dad doesn't do no damn mediocre burnouts!
Keep killing it guys!
Man that Green machine is running hard
Time to add some extra protection for Dad to the cage. She runs amazing!!
I love how the announce called it. nice job dude
What a machine!!!!!
That fist pump / don't spare the whip move at 0:20 mark hit me right in the feels. Congratulations, and I can't wait to see a couple degrees of timing in the Stude. Also, the 9 with 150 out the backdoor shows what potential is in it. Nice.
Awesome car man , very impressive sir
Such an interesting monster
Love this channel....
Looks like a wild ride!
Good Day Guys,,,, a wild ride in a big car..that centre line keeps getting close but great video and very well filmed,,, Steve in Australia
nice work guys
Thats 1 Nasty Nova!!
MAN THAT CARS ALL BUSINESS 2 THUMBS UP
Nice job 👍
Man that thing gets out! Congrats to the PACC team!
God dang that thing is flying. Great work! Interesting how it always gets a little kick out at the 1/8th or so
VTEC!
That is an amazing car!
Post the next time you go to beaver springs, would love to come watch...
Great car, awsum job. Theres alot more there.
Your dad can wheel whoooo
That car skedaddles quick!
Congrats buddy! Love when you post a new video. You guys 101% motivated me to start on my Atlas build. Keep it up guys, you've got a fan in me!
Your dad's the man!✌
Bro it is definitely time to add some bars around ole pops lol looking good
Absolutely!
Add some tubes to make an X in the door and put in a window net? And please get some personal protection! Jeans without oilstains might be 'fireproof' but still..
@@thatdudeinorange2297 there is a window net but I get what you are saying
10 pt. is good for 8.50, worry about breaking time first.
Just want these guys to be safe so they can continue making these fantastic cars and vids on what apperas as on fairly low budget 👍
I don't know if I've been lazy on keeping up to date with yalls content, but I haven't seen much of this car! Thing is sick. I love it. Watching them go 6s and 7s are boring. But this type of craftsmanship is exciting 🤩. (Coming back to correct myself. THIS. THING. IS. GOING. 7s.)
A great inexpensive but quick build. Great job guys.! 👍👍
Tip for Dyno.
When doing a pull, throw it either into neutral or next gear right when lifting at end of pull. I've seen cars and bikes grenade, float valves, etc because the Dyno roller keeps spinning faster after redline is reached when left in gear. As much as 600rpm additional climb when roller continues to ramp up after jumping off throttle.
On a stick car or drag bike you just clutch it. Auto cars need to be shifted up or put into neutral at throttle lift.
Having extra rpm beyond set redline will only save you so many times. It's how many motors get hurt tuning and doing Dyno pulls.
Yeah. You can't do that. You will destroy your transmission. If you throw the car in neutral with a th400 at 7500 RPM, it will disengage the direct clutch and spin the drum at 15000RPM, which will destroy things. The only good way to do that is by putting a clean neutral in the Trans.
Another thing, I couldn't throw it in neutral if I wanted to. Lol. It's a reverse pattern trans. I'd have to go through 2 downshifts to get to neutral.
Also with a torque converter the engine is not directly coupled with the roller so no worries with overspinning. We take data logs. Have never seen the RPM just keep going.
Excellent
The launch on the 8.62 pass was much harder... Good job!
We were not launching hard that day. The track temp was!s cold. You'll recognize when we are launching hard when you see it bump in.
@@andrewnelson3733 oh ok... looking forward to watching on a warm day..👍
@@randywiddis me too. With all the other projects to build video content it is planned for November-ish. It may be cold again but we will have other adjustments and changes completed. Super excited to get back to the track.
@@andrewnelson3733 I love self made build. Check out My 67Chevelle build, ive owned the car for 33 yrs. It was time to completely rebuild her.
Bad ass nova I wish I was y’alls neighbor 🤙
Time for a wing,good passes!!!
That nova is making so much power down the track and you said that it's roughly 300hp short of the dyno 1000hp? Geesh man, it's already a handful now! I hate to see when you dial in that full 1000hp🤪🤘🏿
Track was very cold that day. A warm day would make a big difference. Thanks
Damn. Pops is getting after it.
Sweet hotrod! That is why they outlawed turbos at the Indy 500. Buick V6 made 800 horsepower in the 80's on a stock block, but it had issues with oiling, unlike the SB Chevy and LS engines which are basically bullet proof. You have enough HP, just need chassis adjustments. I wonder how long that small engine will last.
That was a great day
As my friend robin sailer would say " ground pounder!!!!. mid track that bump sends the cars rear end all over the place.
Take that car to a more level track and dip into the 7s. Awesome vids, keep up the good work!!
Good little tv
Its time for more horses to live in my stable💪 got a xbody myself cant wait to make it scoot still has its original 350
Awesome
Time to call out ol Cleeter.
Badd ass video love your father son stuff
Thanks man
@@Calvin-Nelson ty sir bless u 2
Fasterproms brought me here
Nice
8.75s peddling it thats awsome
Love the paint! It's a 73-74, with the 68-72 front end. I always liked the tailights on those 73-74 Novas.
I did the same thing to my 74 Nova , I pulled the bumpers back closer to the body , added a small block 327 , aluminum hi rise intake, stainless steel headers , 750 cfm carb , MSD distributor and multi spark box , 11 inch clutch , M-21 Muncie 4 speed ,
12 bolt posi with traction bars , rear trunk mount Battery and rear trunk mount radiator
@@jimthomas777 Got battery in trunk too. Car is flat black and red kill switch goes thru tailight panel. I forget to turn it on and car won't start lol
@@alanalonso6082 , I went ahead and put my radiator in the trunk , then added 2 inch aluminum tube all the way back , the inside backup lights and adding a slot in-between the lights and license plates for the radiator to allow it to cool down ,
Mine is Flat black with red letters that say X-27 on the rear quarter panel
@@jimthomas777 Never seen a set up like that before. To be honest, didn't even think it be possible. I bet engine bay looks extremely clean. Would love to see your ride
@@alanalonso6082 , small block 327 is painted a ceramic yellow , bolted to steel engine mounts to steel frame mounts with grade 8 bolts , NO rubber , with an aluminum hi rise intake , Stainless steel headers , NO inner fenders , expanded wire mesh grill painted gloss black , the turn signals have been moved to the front bumper like the 70s Nova , all brackets have been moved back and cut shorter and bumpers painted flat black , so when you look through the grill , all you see is
Engine , two inch hood scoop made from aluminum diamond plate , it has a SFI certified Fly Wheel , 11 inch clutch ,
M-21 Muncie 4 speed , 12 bolt posi with traction bars , bucket seats and NO rear seat , so as you look where the back seat was you see the radiator in the trunk ,
8 grand Sun Tach and oil pressure gauge are the only gauges , all door panels removed , has a Hurst shifter with Mr. Gasket handle and a bolt as the shifter knob ,
It was an automatic , but I added clutch/brake pedal and all new linkages and Z bar
Wow 👍
Damn!💪🏻💪🏻
Good times
would love to see this go on a flat smooth track with a little more grip you guys are awesome.
I would love to see that as well.
@@Calvin-Nelson You guys going to try Midwest Drag Week. I think the Nova could do well in the 8.50 class.
@@marktilley388 Nah. The Station Wagon would be better. I'd love to go, but not this year. Already have enough on our plate for this year. Lol
thats what i was thinkin prob.gain a tenth or too on a smooth track
You guys are doing great things, the Nova looks like it is fighting itself to go straight down the track. You may want to check the tracking of the front wheels to the rears. The front subassembly may need adjusted!
Track surface temp was 47 degrees. It was fighting for traction. Also, we still have the rear suspension set up for the Supercharger. Once we swap the rear gears we will reset the bars. This test session was solely for sorting the final drive ratio.
Look like my old pro-junk 73' I use to run 7,s.
In the 1/8
😲🔥💪💕 How bout s paint job on that Beast it surely deserves it!
It's got a paint job
Hi , Need to Check / LOOk at the rear end Alinement . It looks like ITS " Dog Tracking " Mark your steering Wheel @ the 12:00 o'clock position . Your Dad Has to keep / Hold a little left steer , to hold it straight .
Also watch the videos , when he launches he jerking the steering wheel to the Right !
Keep it up ! Thanks
Holy shit... unreal.
What did you put on that paint to dull it like that. Tractor paint has a glossy finish? Thanks.
Great job guys ! Thing is mooovin !
Do you know how much the 4200 weighs?
Insane Nova. Track looks lumpy as hell lol. Dangerous
Whats the temp reading by the speedometer on the overlay? Just curious
The double bounce on the front tires for your 60 foot , wow! It's not hard to build horsepower, just a challenge to get the chassis to work with it. A 7 second run will be awesome, thanks for sharing your build.
Suspension is still set up for the supercharger. We will be tuning that next. We wanted to get initial passes to check converter slip and top end rpm. We plan to change the gears next then the shocks then the bars.. it's a process.
Measure the wheelbase on each side. The car is crabbing to the right every pass. Please don’t take that as criticism. I love the car and the work you have done
It takes a few passes to sort them out. Previous set up was a supercharger. The turbo package will take different shock and bar settings.
I wish I had you making my s10 fast.
Nothing for nothing! You car hooks better than Murder Nova !! Awesome Job!
Geeeeeez omg.
Bad ass
What brand of tractor paint is that looks killer
Wow. Plenty of power. Got to get that car way more solid. Think suspension and reinforcement. Radials? A new steering box? lol. Be safe!
It needs a rear swap bar. Chassis is plenty stiff.
What's with all the smoke from the exhaust? Is that a crankcase pressure problem or oil control?
I'm guessing your slow reaction time is intentional - are you waiting for boost to build? great video, I've liked and subscribed!
Yeah. Waiting for boost to build. It we wanted to cut a good light we would use the bump box, but didn't want to risk rolling through the beams on a test hit. Thanks!
What camshaft are your running ?
