Built with help from Super Chevy Magazine to demonstrate
the potential of a carbureted, centrifugally blown engine
using 91 Octane pump gas and off the shelf parts, this
3,300 lb. car has far exceeded expectations, evolving
into an extreme example. This particular 427 ci combination
is the product of lb/ci rules observed in heads up racing.
When rules aren’t a factor, this level of power
is more commonly produced using a 502 based engine,
often times using higher octane fuels. This engine makes
well over 3 hp/ci with an Air to Water intercooled F-2
ProCharger breathing 28 psi of boost through a pair
of lightly modified 450 Holley carbs. Extreme ProCharged
applications running racing fuel are currently making
in excess of 5 hp/ci, propelling cars to speeds well
in excess of 210 mph. ATI does not recommend duplicating
this Nova’s particular combination, as there are
easier ways to achieve these same power levels. Please
contact our technical service staff to determine a combination
that best meets the needs of your particular application.
