www.v8speedsho... - Joe Kosiba is one of those guys who likes to keep his stuff in order. His house and truck are always spotless, and his garage is so clean it could double as a showroom. We've often found that shops that are too clean never see any work, but Joe also knows how to get things done. Take his '63 Nova, for example. He's owned it for a long time, and it has gone through several transformations over the years, resulting in the car you see in this video. Today it's an arrow-straight street / strip terror that makes around 1000 horsepower from a small block sucking Nitrous Oxide. In this video, Joe takes the car to the World Street Challenge to run in the Wild Street class where you have to drive the car 30 miles, then run back-to-back dragstrip passes to qualify. Joe's Nova ended up winning the class with low 9-second quarter mile passes at around 150 miles per hour. If you ask Joe, it's just good clean fun. You can also see this car featured in the May, 2009, Car Craft Magazine.

Great job on everything, the build, look, driving,sound. You can be proud of your work, & thought. Beautiful car, had three old novas in 1999,had to sell all to buy house, big regret. But just bought 1963 400 series to restore into street & strip car. Great video subscribed.
You guys know how to pick the cars!!! Nice job V8TV and props on the NOVA!!!
Truly BAD ASS!
This nova is beautiful. You nailed the clean beautiful mean look. Im in love.
Beautiful car man. I respect that the work was done by the owner and that it's a street car that can get some at the track.
The wheels up starts look really cool from the Beer Stand.
Love those early Novas!
Very nice Chevy II. He got a little squirrel on the first time trial, but had it nice and straight on the 3rd.
wow that is gorgeous
Awesome Build. Damn good driving in the final. Keep it straight and power to the ground.
Sweetness!! NOVA's rule!
makes me want to build another race car and go racing again and race this class.
Now these cars are real street cars .
There are lots of things you can do, a good trade school can set you up as a tech working on all kinds of engines & vehicle systems, and from there you can go to work for a racing engine or machine shop. Check around where you live, you might have a good shop locally you could visit and talk with the engine builders to see how they got started. Also, the sooner you can start wrenchin' on your own stuff to learn how things work, the better!
I seen this in Car Craft Magazine. Its awesome.
Love it! Nice Nova!
nice car. to make this times everytime, a good driver is needed. and this car has one
The seats are definitely plush.
That's the way you do it. And you did it.
My dream car ❤
Crestside Cutthoat I hope you’ll be able to get one one day with however much horsepower you want 😁
this Nova is awesome , great job!
Nice simple combo!
nice job on the nova,love the speak softly-but carry a big stick look to this bad ass novaaaa
Coming off the line it looks like it has traction control. It looks like it could go faster, if that little hesitation off the line was corrected. Love that smooth fast run anyway.
No traction control. watch it again and listen to the motor, rolling it out and gradually going to full throttle, otherwise it would blow the tires off and never re-hook again!!! May be using a nitrous controller but no traction control!!!
Compression + heat = combustion, and low octane (regular) gas can ignite uncontrollably causing detonation and "pinging" in high compression engines. Higher octane fuel actually resists rogue combustion events, making it possible to raise the compression of an engine and still control the process.
Very nice !!
Good ole WSC1.... Sweet car! I was there, not sure how I just stumbled on this video for the 1st time. Did you ever end up getting the payout?!?!
Wow low 9's with a single stage on a 352 that thing must be making high 5's~6 one motor! Impressive, but I must say everyone is running a 350 at the track including the 632 guys :-) until the hood is popped. Car hauls serious a$$
That would be a cool street race car.
Could be a variety of bore / stroke combinations, but really high revving engines like shorter stroke - less mass to change directions.
nice nova!
Excellent!
Sweet...!
One Bad Ass Nova
2.03 gears would be great top-speed gears, but they wouldn't help you off the line unless you had a 6-speed trans with a really low 2st and 2nd gear.
that car is sick the little stutter off the line is perfict hes got it set up mint. post a vid if you got something that will beat that 350ci on nitrous 13 drag radial 3200lbs good luck
Very nice car..love that 63 Chevy II Nova... Only way I can see that 355 make 1000 ponies is with some NOS and pushing over 8000 RPM ???
Must be some really good breathing heads on that motor ??
I will check out Car Craft May 2009 and see whats in the motor....
nice car!
Sandbagging on car weight: 3000lbs with him in it, and 12 gallons of fuel. 600 hp normally aspirated and 250 more on spray. Good chassis and tires hook up well but your shock valving up front needs a tweak. She is slow to straighten out. Saginaw recirculating ball box looks loosely setup. Old dudes said the "spool was for fools.' Locker instead. Straighter.
I think he meant single stage, and you'd be amazed how much more power it takes to go from running 11's to low 9's. I'd love to see the build sheet on that tired 350!
Can I have the motor lol I'd love to put it in my son's S-10. I had a 65 nova I built and had 406 na. But I dum and sold it wish I had it back.you have a very nice looking car be safe and have fun.
sweet!!
True, but it wouldn't idle very well - and at a high RPM. It would want to run hot. It would be loud and choppy as hell, hard to start, and probably wouldn't make good torque at regular driving RPMs, like 1500 - 3000 where 90% of your driving takes place. Above that, it would be on, but that's why that kind of engine would be best served for the strip of dyno contests.
i heard a hard backfire when the car took off on the final pass. thats usually a sign to get out of it. He just stayed in it and ran the fastest pass of the day. what usually causes that type of backfire on launch. was the nitrous just shocking the motor, timing in the computer, or was something hurt on that last pass. I noticed he picked up about 4/10s so i guess it didnt hurt anything. thats really flying for a street worthy small block. let me know.
dang you know what your talking about! i want to get into building V8's as a hobby or job. can i go to college specifically specializing in V8's? and is their jobs out their that just specialize in american V8's?
Sure, and it really wouldn't take all the cash in the world. But it would require a high compression ratio, and high cylinder pressure, very free-flowing heads, and a camshaft to support it. The result would be an engine that could make that number, but would not have decent street manners. Those kinds of engines - those built for all out power - are great on dynos, but not fun to drive. That's where boost / nitrous come in! High power you can drive on the street reliably.
Hey Joe,you're close to the high 7s...c'mon you can do it.
I'll take that old and reliable engine off your hands, its kinda tired as you say :)
Great run, congrats ~ thats for sharing the vids
my dad had a 63 nova but sold it after i was born fuck!! i want it back lmao
yeah, it would be a really big bore and short stroke if i'm correct?
i heard that high compression isn't good for regular/premium gas. what's that supposed to mean?
where did you get those stats from??? Your hand bag by chance???
can you use 13 1/2 compression on 93 octane? what is the highest compression you can have on 93 octane with it still being safe? including that i had the right parts.
1/2 sec. quicker in the final...Shady guy!!
what gears are you running in that car?
oh yeah, and why can hondas vtecs handle such high compression like 15 to 1? isn't that bad for them?
Thats a street car!!!
car lanches real wierd when he leaves the car sloowly rolles forward a about a foot and then BOOM
That mustang shifting gears launched a with a wheel stand to the left, might of broke a suspension part or he might have won!
It looked like he didn't have it lined up straight
are 2.03 good racing gears?
Jaguar E-type, Austin Mini, Ariel Atom, Caterham 7, Ultima GTR......
It's gone 8.90s...
I can do that with my 1000hp nova...... in gran turismo
@ aaardvarkkk,
The hood went up THE NEXT DAY.......
I would say, 550whp + a 300 shot.
how much compression does this motor have?
how much does an engine like this run?
Who won the world quarter mile drag in 1963?
i would love to own this pro street nova i had 4 or 5 chevy nova's but nothing like this
damn right this is a sexy ass nova
i wanna know whats in that car he raced
this thing street legal?
Fuck YEA
Why the problem with the hole shots??
I'm guessing no trans brake, and not spraying until 2nd gear. Just a thought. Still a good hit in the final
i laughed at the mustang
B.S. that gota be 434.s.b. and a Turbo.400.😉
i would bracket race him anyday
bracket racing sucks street racing is the only way to race
can you make 1000 HP all motor chevy if you had all the money in the world?
Aston Martin, Jaguar, Mclaren.
Single fogger? I counted 8.
He can't get it to the ground. His '60 foot time can be dropped a quarter second with some seat time or a tire change.
Too bad we couldn't hear the cars over the "sounds".
@5:32 But wait. He lifted the hood and worked on it between runs after he just said it's against the rules to do so. WTF?
Listen to first couple of minutes of the video Einstein!!! You are not allowed to open the hood till after the 30 mile shake down run and have run 3 round robin runs once back at the track!!! After that you are allowed to add fuel, nitrous and do any other tuning and maintenance needed!!!
why wouldn't they be fun on the street lol? no car could step up!
Up grade....please!
Not enough sidewall or tire width.
american balls 63 nova
@jhizzylawnman on a circuit? no.
thas american balls
@bic1457 actually yes, in some classes all of those are cheating.
The music over the top of the car totally ruined the video.
789 horsepower at flywheel with the spray to run 9.50s in a 3230 pound car.not 1000!!
My Brothers 67 nova is at 485 HP & runs 11's . for this car having 1000 HP it's slow what a shame : ( or it's ALL BS !!!
it's an old tired engine? Fuck I'd hate to hear what he'd say about my car...
350 hahaha probably a 406 with a 400 shot of nitrous
is it for sale 302.542.5969 if so
It is no longer an ss.. Once you start Changing parts from from factory
As long as the VIN # says it's an SS It will always be an SS!!!
"Untold44"....You are obviously not from the old school. Whiner. Sandbagging is the way its done. Dont be pissed go home and get to wrenching....Come back when you can handle it.
1000hp means nothing in a horrible american chassis which will just burn tyres before leaving the line. Not to mention how horrific handling will be on this but hey, americans dont care about that. They just throw an old, heavy, underperforming V8 in a car the size of a boat which is crippled on corners thanks to the horrible build and the front heavy end from sed horrible engine.
Dude, calm down. Just a joke.
One 4 - wheel drive European car with 50% less Horse Power would make even donuts before the final line. Probably German. Almost any 4-wheel drive 6-cylinder can beat these guys at 1/4 q / mile? To me it is just BS. Try one. Where all 8-audis with DTurbos. No money? The service is not easy. I can and will take anyone anything from the line - just always the fastest.
5 words for you, YOU ARE full of sh*t!!!! You obviously know NOTHING about cars and drag one of those pieces of sh*t you reference out to the track and willing to bet you won't even make it to the 1/8th mile mark when he is already through the lights!!!
If that was the case they would all be here!!!
Bring yours to your local raceway and be you will be surprised!!!
@FuriousPixel
HMM OKAY SO DONT FUCKING BUY ONE.
Sandbagger, here let me run constant 9.5 then hit 9's on final...... Bs i would be pissed.
Hell yeah that thinks f****** sweet
