budget drag car
I'd like some advise. Thanks in advance for any help. My son bought a 73 nova for 800 bucks and wants to go drag racing. It has an aftermarket cam, intake manafold, carb, forged pistons, and headers, on a 307ci motor, I'm guessing it has maybe 250hp and he plans to add a 100hp shot of nitrous to it, with hopes of getting the car into the 12's. The motor peak touque is at 4000, peak hp at 5000 rpm. Does it need a converter that stalls near peak touque, or is that too loose? Any other ideas that dont cost much? I'm hoping that someone here has had some experience with a mild car like this. Thanks.
