    I will still maintain that you do not NEED 500 HP to go in the mid 12s either.

    Here are some calculators that reflect weight and HP to validate that-

    ET-MPH-HP Calculator
    Drag Performance Calculator
    HP/ET Calculator
    TCI - TECHNICAL INFORMATION: Racing Calculators

    Before you dismiss that- here are some real world mild Novas that run mid 12 and none have 500HP.

    1971 Chevrolet Nova 1/4 mile Drag Racing timeslip specs 0-60 - DragTimes.com near stock 355
    1972 Chevrolet Nova 1/4 mile Drag Racing timeslip specs 0-60 - DragTimes.com using a ZZ4 w/ 355HP
    1970 Chevrolet Nova 2 Door 1/4 mile trap speeds 0-60 - DragTimes.com another mild 355
    1971 Chevrolet Nova ss 1/4 mile trap speeds 0-60 - DragTimes.com a 400 on pump gas
    There is no substitute for cubic inches
