Should I Change Out My Cam? I currently am running an XE-R grind 236/242 .601/.610 114lsa
My car isn't a daily driver, but it sees a lot of street time. I have a Yank PE4400 converter, 3.73, 26x10-15 ET Drags, and BMR suspension everywhere. Basically, I have tried to build this car to go as fast as possible N/A Cam while only taking out the spare and rear seats. I went 11.43 as seen in the sig, and I think that this cam and weight combo has been maxed out as that same day I backed it up with 5 supporting runs ranging from another 11.43-11.46. (Damn consistent
)
My problem now is, I feel this cam may have held me back a bit, and I see cams making far better power, and running in some serious cam only cars.
I can pick up a brand new TRex for $100, but I don't want to be closed minded about what to go with, if anything. I haven't been looking into cams since I got mine, so the MS4 and anything else (what is there) are all new to me. Texas Speed has shown some large numbers from this cam, but numbers mean nothing unless it's being displayed on the trap towers showing your ET.
Keep my cam? Go with a TRex? Run one of the new BIG cams? I don't know what to do. The car will see more weight reduction soon too, but I want a 10 second slip cam only.
Thanks guys, any tips are really welcome and appreciated.
