Cammed Transam vs Cammed trans am.
said I wasnt gunna race last night but oh well. met a guy, said he had a 224 cam, bolt ons, weight reduction and a six speed. mickey thompsons on tt2s.
My car is a 231/235 cam, 3800 stall, bolt ons. toyo 315s. aired them down a little which was nice. so we line up from a dig, I got better jump, held him off untill i let off around 120 by about a car. Then we lined up from a 25-30 roll. even hit, I pulled up a half car he pulls back, I maybe have him by a fender, but he was creeping around on my around 120-130 when I let off. probably my best race ever. two good running t/a's.
I thought my car was faster on paper and couldnt realize why his car was so fast with the baby cam and less power. So I asked him a few more questions and he said his rear gears are....not stock. so im guessing 4.11s or something. My 3.23s are hurting me. oh well. I know a few people had videos so ill see if I could get one. all in all awesome night met some good dudes.
oh I hada 160lb passanger.

Sounds like some fun runs, and close races, nice job. No matter what he's really got you edged him out and he's probably thinking about what he could do to get you if you meet up again.

I believe so. His car is super tame for sure. It's quite, no noticeable lope, Etc. My car on the other hand, lopey as hell, true duals dumped, it's loud and rowdy. I kinda like the sleeper aspect. Wonder if I could tone my car down a bit.

get rid of that exhaust and it will be night and day diff in the tame factor. i was in the same boat before.

I've pulled a ctsv from a 45 roll, most fast 6 speed cars dont come around on me until 120ish, I feel like gears would help. It just needs to pull harder up top.
Curious if my set up would benefit from a six speed swap.

This is a video of the dig, pretty even start. I was a car out when I let off, cause I didn't know the road, and he wasn't gaining at all. It looks like he's ahead at the end, but I hit the brakes and he just kinda rolled past.

Yes. Lol. Nah don't get me wrong, I love six speeds, but the stall makes a car just as fast and more consistant. I'd only swap to a six speed if I could find a good deal on a swap.

Stalled autos are great for collecting trophies from the bracket racing tournament at your local track.
If you're into seeing who has the faster car by roll racing then mod for mod the M6 gets the nod.
