First pass w/ Novi 1K Last Night

**brad87gt** · 07-10-2004, 03:14 PM

I made my first pass w/ the Novi on my car last night and did ok i guess, My best time was an 11.96 @123 mph I could not get the damn thing to hook up. I ran 10.5 inch E.T. streets. The car would not hook for any thing. Hopefully once i get it to hook i will go low 11's. Also the elevation was like 6000 ft. and the temp was around 85 degrees. So i guess that is pretty good. I want to break 125 mph next time to the track.

Damn nice MPH, I know what ya mean trying to use 10.5" tires, I'm running a C-4 and still can't hook worth a crap, can't imagine how bad a 5spd. would be. Considering the temp and elevation as well, you did a heck of a job!!

just out of curiosity, what kind of gas millage are you guys with above 120mph getting out of your cars? Just wondering, is the fcam a good blower cam, why not go for the custom ground cam?

6,000 foot altitude... where are ya located?

Sounds like Colorado Altitude. :)

Located in Central PA, the 6000 ft altitude was the air quality.

I am getting like 10 mpg and this pass was made with only 9 psi of boost.

**chemical5l** · 07-13-2004, 05:41 PM

wow, why is your millage so bad, is it because of the cam? The reason I am asking is that I cause I am currently getting 19mpg with the 9psi on a stock engine with exhaust, when you add heads and cam does it affect it that much???

Not too bad Brad. 123's a nice trap. What was your 60' by the way?

10 mpg is not bad at all, its all how you drive. if your in a state with all straight roads with no stopping and your easy on it of course you gonna get like 18 mpg or so, im in urban connecticut and i average around 9.5 mpg in stop and go around town shifting at 2-5. thats a speed density 87 except for msd, gears, exhaust and a throttle body, so almost stock. with the same car ill get on a rural area with no stopping and get an easy 19 mpg, then hop on the highway and get 23 mpg.
