Track Times with the Cadillac Cam finally!
So guys. . . i know for the longest time i have been promising some track times for my Cadillac Cammed A4. . . here are the results.
12.93 @ 104.6 with a 1.9 60'
that was the first run of the night and my first time running at the track with the new 3200 rpms stall converter.
Cars mods are: Pacesetter LT's, e cut-out, SLP CAI, U/D pullies, Cadillac Cam 1.6RR's, rebuilt tranny with Edge 3200RPM stall, and a tune.
I think with a little more practice the car is capable of pulling at least a 1.8 60' dropped my 1/4 time to about a 12.7
next mod is hopefully a bigger throttle body
ohh and also that was with a DA of 1830
and the time corrected would be a 12.66 @ 106.8

no, sorry never ran the car prior to the cam.
blew a head gasket and found the cam had a few scratched lopes and also had 2 or 3 stuck lifters so everything in the valve train was replaced.
yea i'd be interested to know as well.

Good for you, a few questions though. Have you at least put a mail order tune in the car? How are you using the converter, stalling it up or flashing it?
Iv'e only used two types of DRs, MT and Nittos. With the Nittos I had to run 15-16 lbs. cold and do a real long burn-out. I think with some tweaking and a good air day you should see some mid 12s.

well if i can hit a 1.8 60' theoretically i'd be pulling a 12.7.
so really all the improvement i need to make is in my 60' times. and this was my first time at the track with an A/M stall in general, let alone it being a 3200.
and i dont see why i wouldnt be able to pull a lower time if i drop more off my 60' with some stickier tires like M/T's or something.

I think most will recommend not running the air pressure that high (street driving) or you'll wear the middle of the tire. I run 25lbs. cold on the street. Try flashing the converter next chance you get, you might be surprised.

If you get the 60' down a bit, you might squeeze a high 12.7 in super good weather, but I'm not so sure you'll see much more than that. Trap speed is an indication of the power of your car, and you're a little on the low side.
JMHO of course. Nice numbers regardless.

Well thats the pressure Discount Tire put in them, and personally how they wear really doesnt matter to me much, my buddy is a manager and i can just put a nail in both tires and get new ones cheap as dirt since i have the warranty.
and what do you mean flashing the converter exactly?

and the first run it seemed like i did flash the converter cause i rocket'd out of the hole, the second run it did not seem like i did and the time slips would agree.
but what you are talking about it holding the rpm's at about say 2300 [my stall is a 3200] and right as the last yellow light goes, stabbing the throttle so it flashes the converter higher than the stall speed typically would be, instead of just leaving off the rpm im stalling it to waiting for the tree.
correct me if im wrong please.
