This is the original Ad that i saw for the car.
"1973 Chevy Vega Pro street, 406, street legal and registered. Too much to list call for more info."
"It is a X-Super Gas car I made street legal. It has a 406 small block, new Mikes tran's turbo 400 with brake and a 5000 stall hipster convt. 12 bolt with 38 spline strange axels and 433 gear, 3-link Alston rear, the car is back halfed. The motor is on pump gas 9 to 1 comp. runs 11.0's on motor and with a 150 shot NOS car runs 10.30. The 60 foot time is 1.40. Has iron heads done by Derrick Vessel Nook Victor Jr., rear tires M/T street 33x18.5, has line lock, all gages autometer, and cage is 10 point legal to 7.50 et. The car has gone 9.03 with another motor. Its a fun street car that does the 1/8 mile in 6.40 @ 104 mph 1/4 mile on juice 10.30 @ 125 mph."

ishot2pac's 1973 Chevrolet Vega This is how the car looked when the previous owner bought it.

The car has low compression so i can run and race on pump gas.

I have only done a few things to the car since i bought it. (K&N air filter, aluminum radiator, K&N stubstack, Electric exhaust cutouts, Oil filter relocation kit, 8.5mm wires)
Just changed to MT Sportsman Pro's (31x18.5) because the car sees alot of street time and only some track time.

I dynoed it once before:
SAE Corrected Max HP328.7@5440 Max torque 412.2@3440

I have run a best of 7.4@94 at Barona 1/8th mile and a best of 7.3@96 at Qualcomm 1/8th mile.

UPDATE
Put nitrous back on the car (NX Hitman Plus) and with a 100 shot ran a best of 7.1 at 96 and also pulled the wheels. (see timeslip below)
Still going to bump it to a 150shot and should break into the 6's.

Sweet car man. I hope to turn my Mustang into something like that some day. That thing looks pretty fast.

Hey man, love the lil chevy! I love checking out other peoples Vegas to see what they are doing. It looks like it was built about like mine. I love the color too! Mine hasnt seen the track yet by me but when it does, Ill post the time. Smart choice to change tires cause driving them on the street is a blast. Stop in and leave a message sometime.
