Get me down the track
Have '98 Corvette. Installed cam, exhaust air box with tune; Dynos 331 rwhp with 327 ft lbs torque. Went to track; did three runs...295-35 F1 super car tires with 35 psi; 60 ft times 2.2, 2.109, so you know the tires are just blown off the car; the ETs were 13.17, 13.14, and 13.14 all 107 mph. Help me out...I see other cars with the same HP reaching 115 mph and running mid to high 12s. Any ideas...Thanks.

Something must be wrong, you are only making 331hp with a cam and exhaust...

Numbers sound right to me. About 30rwhp with the cam and tune. Exhaust probably didn't do much.
Drop the pressure in your tires down to 30 or 25. Also, the track prep makes a big difference on traction (depends on how much VHT they've put down).
