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."
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.
