Default New Best

I was finally able to make it to the track and put up some better numbers since I did the cam and Z06 trans swap. Before The cam and trans, my best was 12.57@112mph w/ a 1.97 60' with just the blackwing and SLP cat-back on BFG 17" drag radials.

Today I pulled off a 12.35 @ 113mph w/ 1.90 60'. Still thru cats and stock manifolds with stock tuning. I knew it felt faster with the cam and trans swap, but I had only been able to get some hard #'s today to back it up. Hopefully with tuning and headers I can enter into the 11's :D

Congrats... You post some good numbers on the track and on the dyno. Just kinda currious what kind of tires you were running for those times. Seem kinda fast for "street tires". Also, what kinda cam are you running and are you happy with it?

Bill :cheers:

I was on BFG 17" Drag radials. My cam is in my sig (which is the comp 216/220) I like the cam since it is real mild, yet I know its there and I can feel it. My car is by no means a track only car so its right for me. Only complaints w/ the cam is that sometimes when I am stopped and its idling it will die with the A/C on. But I'm sure that will be fixed when I get it tuned. I also ran another 12.35 and a 12.36 both at 113mph today, so I have backed up my #'s to prove it. :seeya
