that start was after about an hours rest at the track.

I've got some number pre-tune. My best before was a 12.9@109.8 and 2.0 60' and my first run down the track after was a 12.6@114 and 2.0X.

Honestly I can't drive worth a ****, but I'm working on it and the car is running so rich it is throwing codes so I have to get that fixed with edit. I would have preferred to be around 118 or so but with my car it has always been somewhat down on power to start. It also is running a full interior with a system and a non-lightwieght driver. I'd estimate it to be around 3700-3800lbs with gas and me in it. This is also throug a 9" rear/locker/35 spline axles/ 4.11's and a twin disc clutch. All of which are not helping matters.

I'll get it fixed up as good as I can N/A but this is really a mid point until I can throw some serious N20 at it in the future along with some big stickies

Why do u say that? It would have been in mine. If I don't go with this cam, I'll likely go with one of Allan's cams.

i only drive mine in good weather... the wrx is my bitch

I work in a downtown area and have to drive up a parking garage and the locker sucks nuts at that... it bucks and jerks like crazy around the tight turns... and also sets off just about every car alarm on the way up to the upper floors.

You have me all excited now... I just put this cam in my car along with my new heads... dropping the engine back in Saturday, hope to have it up and running sometime next week.

And yes, it's my daily driver.

Nice clip. I have the 231/237 in my car (daily driver with 3.42's). I'm running long tubes with an ORYP and cutout. Oh it's mean alright! Sounds crazy Makes great power and pulls like freight train for the size of the cam. It's really not that big at all by today standards. I'm going bigger this summer.

I love this cam. I've had it in the car about a year now and drive it every day to work.
On occassion, I go from work to the track, let some air out of the rear tires and run high 11's all night in the summer heat while granny shifting. Gotta love it.

I love this cam too. With a good tune it is docile to drive around.
