Default Mid 11's with mild cam only car?

Okay, it's actually a question, but i want input. Can you make a consistent M6, i say again, M6 run mid 11's with a cam Below 230's? Are you making up for the moderate cam with good 60 foot's, or what? if it is at all possible

It's all about weight...if you can get your car 3000 and under it wouldn't be a problem as long as you get traction

i highly doubt the cam is your problem, and switching to a smaller one I doubt will help. Why don't you try and figure out the problem first, you might have something pretty serious wrong if the tuner really couldn't get the knock out. just MHO

Sounds like the cam and crank gear weren't lined up dot to dot.

Did you check the grounds to your coil packs? I put my coil pack on backwards an caused some good misfires. Long story don't ask.
