The Nova is Chad's old ORSCA EZ Street car that he has owned since he was a teenager. It has an 8.50 cert mild steel cage, Smith Racecraft bolt in front stub, leafs with Cal-Tracks. It's much prettier from the outside than it is nice underneath. It had been 5 teens with Chad's old 598 but we were out of car and it was unpredictable. It was parked when he bought the Buick. Jackson(Chads son) paid for the new wheels with his own money. Micah White, our friend who was recently killed, that was on our crew owned a body shop. He painted the car and put the top on it for Jackson and the kid worked the bill off at the shop in his spare time. Chad is a farmer and Jackson works on the farm when he is not in school. Hard work is not something either are scared of.

As far as the proper way to run nitrous and prepare nitrous motors......I tell people how to do it everyday on the phone. I can tell you what to do and how to do it safely. All people have to do is listen. I help way more people over the phone than I go to the track and personally tune. And guess what........phone calls are free

You will laugh at the 0.052 jet I hit the 493 with, track went away towards the end of the night and I was having issues hooking...but I am not NHRA legal for my chemically enhanced ET... tsk

Is your high-RPM miss resolved, yet?

Gettin better and the miss was a too rich condition due to a couple of changes to the carb I made w/new boosters and stake tubes so leaning it out helped a lot but ran out of fuel. Weather's getting nasty so after I add 2 degrees of timing and lean it out a bit more, it's track time. I learned a valuable lesson about plug reading and confused small carbon bits as peppering/detination so it was a rich miss and just jetting down 2 and 2 it went from the 9's to the 11's and pulled past 7000 easy AND damn near sideways.............. boogie If it doesn't go 6.09 at 111+ ish, a small hit is next............

Went down the exact same road with a pump gas 499 street car. Mine has a 4 speed. Car made 540 to the tire, ran 10.50@130 on steel wheels. mainly just raced the car on the street.

I purchased the puck system and a dedicated fuel system and never looked back!!!! Last year the car was on a 300 shot all year, never misses a beat! Car made 840ho 885 trq to the tire on a stock block, mahle pistons and plasma moly rings! I had the nitrous wired hot to a button on my steering wheel, and when I would power shift, it would spit fire out of the back. Was tough convincing people that it was a N/A car at night! Absoltly loved it and didn't worry about turbo guys driving around me in the big end, I was always out front to start and then id grab the system.....

Main advice I give from my combo....... Start very low with timing, then once it works perfect, slowly start to creap it back in! Timing will create cylinder pressure and even detonation.....This will kill the motor, weather its a 150 or a 350....
Everyone says, oh its a 150 so I pulled 2 degrees for every 50hp of jet..... Drives me crazy.

Best thing at the track is when you pull timing out of someone elses car and it goes faster....... And the look on there face

Doubt Chuck has much if any Mopar experience, but he is a good guy.

Now a Mopar doesn't KNOW it's a Mopar, but Mopar heads for the most part are not nitrous friendly and neither are the old school cams most are enamored with. So whatever you think is safe on timing to start with, you are still likely too high, so take more out. Low timing never hurt anything but the time slip, whereas too much timing will get you started on an ash tray collection

If it likes 12.8 or so on the motor, that's where its gonna need to be on the hose as well
