but that thing would not run good if it were a 1:1 because that exhaust would be highly constrictive reducing flow and creating some back pressure.

You have to be kidding right? That's the stock exhaust that came on the 396/375hp cars and dealer installed headers. Those cars used to scream! I know, I had one!

Great color and wonderful job on the Nova

375 horse is nothing especially these days but a mild 383 stroker making 500, 550 horse with that small of an exhaust you will have back pressure. on that application its a model, its not a real 383 stroker, its plastic so nobody would know if it was making 550 horsepower all I was saying is if that was a real drag car and it did make a bit of horsepower that constrictive exhaust would create some back pressure.
