Default New "cam only" times

Previous best was 11.83 @ 115.76. On that day I was banging off the rev limiter HARD on the 1-2 shift and the 2-3 shift was too low.

Today's runs, DA was -280, and the track was hooking very well, dead hooked every time!

11.841 @ 115.74 (1.63)
11.843 @ 115.15 (1.61)
11.827 @ 115.14 (1.60)
11.760 @ 115.30 (1.59)
11.776 @ 115.07 (1.60)
11.681 @ 116.28 (1.59) <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
11.770 @ 115.30 (1.60)
11.789 @ 115.45 (1.61)
11.712 @ 115.90 (1.58)
11.788 @ 115.53 (1.61)
11.724 @ 116.31 (1.59)

Then I put the street tires on and was about to go home and decided to run a few on the street tires...

16.794 @ 68.19 (1.93)<<<got VERY loose on the 1-2 shift and almost kissed the wall <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" />
12.340 @ 115.12 (1.98)<<<took it easy on that one <img border="0" alt="[boring]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_zzz.gif" />

Overall I'm pretty happy considering my weight (3450) and the fact I don't have a pulley or an LS6 intake yet. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> I think I should have better 60ft times w/this converter (vig3200), I still have my free restall, so maybe over the Winter I'll do that.

Good times!!
I have damn near the same mods as you and run about the exact same.Thats kick ***!!
I also got the Vig. 3200 and 3.73 with bolt-on and cam only.
I ran 11.60 @115.4 with a 1.53 60ft.Get that 60 ft down a little and you'll have some 11.5's !
BTW: What cam did you go with?

Thanks guys!

Slick, I went w/a Comp Cams 222/222 .563/.563 112. Sometimes I think I got screwed and have a vig2800 when I see other cars 60fts w/the 3200 <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

Roy, next week I will be at the Southern Shootout, just watching.

Default Re: New "cam only" times

awesome times man!

I have the Comp 224/224 .563 114 cam with a vig3600 and ive only been 11.7 @ 114.7. I went 11.95@112 before cam though on nittos. After the cam I can hook for squat on the nittos still. My best 60 is a 1.64 to 1.65, before I could cut 1.58's with the 3.23's

maybe I need more gear <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

awesome numbers man.... i really want 11.5's on nittos and hopefully I can get it <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Default Re: New "cam only" times

Slick98, I picked up that cam used w/about 6000k on it for $175, couldn't pass it up. I'll probably be around PSJ and the rest of the Chicago crew at the shootout. I'll keep an eye out for you.

JNorris, the best I did w/stock internals was 12.15 @ 112.25 (1.61). I really wanted that 11.99, and in better air I think I would have gotten it, but I couldn't wait any longer to get the cam in <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Dan, thanks for the a/c recharge. It gives me more powa <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_tounge.gif" />

98TAauto, Thanks and get some "real tires and gears" and run some 11.50s <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" />

Mark: what are your shift points set around? Also what rpm did you launch at? I use to leave around idle to 1300 rpms before cam, but im wondering if i should leave higher now. But hell the nittos wont hold LOL. Hopefully ill have a good idea what to do when i get slicks!

Im thinking about et streets and 3.73's some kinda hard right now <img border="0" alt="[judgement]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_judge.gif" />

damn this mod bug <img border="0" alt="[guns]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_guns.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[Banging Head]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_banghead.gif" /> LOL

98TA, shift points, according to the stock tach are about 6350. I've tried to launch this car a thousand different ways. I found that if the track is hooking I stall to about 2300 and just slam it to the floor, that usually gets me 1.59s to 1.61s w/the occasional 1.58.Your 3600 might like to be stalled up more.

Steve, it looks like I may not make the shootout. Are you going to 41 Sunday?

Hey XFiveLiter ,
If its hooking try 2000rpm's and slamming the gas.Thats what I do to get 1.52 60ft's.But then again if you tried it 1000 different ways then you probally already tried 2000.It was just a thought <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Slick98- Yeah, I tried 2000 and everything else. 2300 seems to be the sweet spot for my car.

Pris- Thanks, and check the caravan post on the other board. My beater is DOA <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" /> and I'm not too crazy about driving 2000mi in the Camaro (10-bolt is getting a little loud <img border="0" alt="[Banging Head]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_banghead.gif" /> )
