1969 Nova with a twin-turbo big-block Chevy V8 in Las Vegas

LCR Performance built this 1969 Chevrolet Nova to drag race and cruise the streets. Under the fiberglass hood is a twin-turbo 540 ci big-block Chevy V8 built by KTRE in Minnesota. The motor produces 2500 hp thanks to methanol and two Precision Gen2 94 mm turbochargers. A 20 gpm mechanical pump feeds eight 225 lb/h injectors and eight 550 lb/h injectors methanol on the track and pump gas on the street. Behind the motor is a Rossler Pro-Mod Max three-speed automatic transmission and full-floating rear end. The Nova rides on a Smith Racecraft front suspension with Menscer Motorsports shocks and a 4-link rear suspension with QA1 Mod shocks. If you are interested in owning this monster Nova, LCR Performance has the Nova for sale.
