Default added a 231/237 cam and 4400 vig got a question

On the way home from the drag strip last night I ran a red Z06 vette not stock ran 11.10s to 11.15s all night kept coming up and saying crap that my car was a cheap bades 6 banger with a hood well on the way home he got beside me we was going 55 to 60.We both mashed it and I did nothing but start pulling ran up to 145 I know to fast for being on a road Well I was watching my stock tach and it kept showing 7 grand but I never heard my rev limiter????????? Would the cam make it not read right since it revs so quick? If thats the case ill be ordering an auto meter I dont like when I can see what everything is doing I kept in it a bit to see if I heard my limiter or it shifting into overdrive but heard nothing any ideas do I need a tach? HAd fun though ran him twice then he went back and stay behind me

Nice one RJF.
Looking at your sig, and your times, 12.2@111.9 this is an old time right?

With the VIG 4400 being underrated that converter is like a 5000 so I can imagine with shift extension it wouldn't drop much. What is your rev limiter set at?

RJF, I've run a Z06 at the track and was very surprised as to how this cam was able to pull on the Z06 AFTER the 1/8th.
Definately get your limiter situation looked at, you don't want to spin past 7000, that's for sure.

just get someone to autotap a wot run for you...check what rpm that car is really running to as the stock tach is garbage.
