1966 Chevrolet Nova "Green Reaper" by Ryan Milliken

Ryan Milliken, owner of Hardway Performance Solutions, transformed a 1966 Chevrolet Nova into a competitive X275 drag racing machine. Originally featuring a ProCharger-boosted big-block Chevy, the car now boasts a 6.8-liter Cummins diesel engine, making it unique in its radial-tire class. With the help of teammate Daniel Pierce, the Nova was converted to diesel trim, leveraging Milliken's expertise in diesel performance. Featuring a custom-built dry Cummins engine from Freedom Racing Engines, the vehicle produces 2,470 horsepower with an 88mm Garrett turbocharger. Modifications include a Smith Racing front-end setup, Wagler intake manifold, and carbon fiber body components. The car has achieved a best of 4.55 seconds in the eighth mile and continues to be a significant presence on the drag racing circuit.
