So to answer the first questions no this bad Nova is not street legal. Lets start with the most important part of this car the engine. The platform for this engine is a 460 race engine bored and stroked to a 598 cubic inch monster complete with a 4 1/2 stroke topped off with a set of 360 Dart Heads and built with a Lunati Camshaft with specs boasting 804 intake lift and .755 exhaust lift. All of this gives this engine an astounding 14:1 compression ratio meaning you need to fill this baby up with 110 octane to keep it all together. To feed the fuel into this monster is a 1050 cfm Dominator carb and sitting on top of a nitrous fogger plate that force feeds this engine a 300 horsepower shot of nitrous at the push of a button. If you factor all these things together and complete it with a professional Dyno-tune this little Nova pounds out a massive 1400+ horsepower as it rages down the track. Now power isnt always everything in order to win the race you need to deliver the power to the wheels and doing this is a built 2-speed powerglide complete with a 76 gear trans brake. Some say this is the best option for a drag race car and it is safe to say that it is the most popular transmission used by bracket racers across the country. To maintain power this car comes equipped with a primary Magnafuel 500 electric fuel pump known by racers to accomodate up to 2000 horsepower and backed up by a 140 electric fuel pump during nitrous use. The chassis is custom built with a full roll cage and is designed in spec with NHRA standards and even comes serialized to prove its pedigree and reliability. The body is also custom built fiberglass in the classic 1966 Chevy II Nova to show off that a car can also be stunning as it blasts down the track. Safety features on this car also include a full roll cage manual release parachute 5-point harness neck harness fire gloves fire extinguisher and quick disconnect electrical system.
