10.8 is a very far Cry from 9.1....
I know of SEVERAL full street daily driven vettes my area that are in the 10's. 10's are NOT hard with a vette. Low 9's thats a TOTALLY different animal. The vette I just got done putting together that I did the write up on will run low 10's all day long in full trim factory trim with the A/C blowing on the way to the track.
And yes, the cam does work. Never said it didnt. Its just rediculous to advertise it as the "best" cam available. Thats

The cam I ran was on a 113-on this board that's a no-no-who in there crazy mind runs a cam on a 113?
There's no question the ECS cam works but at the same time there are 100's of other cams that work as well. And honestly-I think too many people put too much stock in a "blower cam". When the reality is the blower really doesn't care-it will make power regardless.
There are folks here who have made great power on reverse splits, little itty bity baby cams, but not everyone get's to go the track with a purpose built car to put those dyno numbers to match track numbers.
People get soo hung up on cams that they don't pay attention to real important stuff like pushrod length, spring install height, spring seat pressure, pushrod diameter, degreeing the cam, etc, etc, etc,
I've mentioned this many times, for the stock motor-just put in a 02 and up Z06 cam, it will make 600 rwhp with ease, it's easy on the valvetrain, it's cheap and it works. Save the real cam for a real motor!

In fact...how many do ? or would want to unless the car is purely used for drag racing.
As Arun says, there are probably hundreds of cam profiles that will produce a lot of power.
