Default 10 sec car...cam only?

I saw a LS1 with "cam only". It ran a 10 second 1/4, Im sure it also had slicks but how is this possible?

SMOKIN's TRex powered car runs 10's. It's doable with proper suspension and tire. Heck, we all forget that drivetrain, suspension, weight and tire cut your ET much more so than a cam does.

That may be true, but he's running 10.20s. Going from 10.99 to 10.20 takes a lot of effort.

Hell i'm almost there without a cam. With just bolt ons My car has run a best of 11.04 @ 121. With better weather, a few less lbs and some suspension tunning (just threw the suspesion together, haven't even tried different shock settings) i should be in the 10's easily. But the only 1/4 mile track around here is never open .

Actually "bolt on's" refers to engine mods that are not internal. As in pully, intake, headers, MAF, TB. stuff like that. The tranny DS and rear end are part of the drivetrain, they aren't considered "bolt ons".

"cam only" means the only internal mod to the engine is the cam and supporting valvetrain.
