That is freaking sweet. Just curious, how much power are you making without spray. I have a hotcam kit that I was going to sell cause I wanted more power for my swap build. If I could just do a set of nice heads then maybe I won't.

Way to represent the Hot Cam! I have a hot cam only with spray (Nitrous Outlet is the only way to go!) and went 10.61 at this years LTX Shootout. That was with stock heads as well.

Back about 10 years ago I was impressed when I saw a 1996 Camaro with a 396 (unknown heads), cc306 cam, t-56, drag radials, and 150 wet kit running 11.20's @ 125 in crap air. Times have certainly changed.

Nice to see the Hotcam get some love.

Well, yeah - nitrous changes everything.

Yes, GM optispark. I'm on my second one, but we replaced the first one just for the hell of it when we did the cam swap probably 9 years ago. I've never had a single problem with an optispark.

With the stock transmission and Vig 3600 still in the car (otherwise, as it sits today), last November the car dynoed 379.82/344.52 on motor at Speed Inc.

Wow, damn, now that's impressive. I went 11.249 cam only with spray (62N).

I have quite a few goodies under the car:

Strange SA w/ 300# springs (front)
Madman AFCO DA w/ BMR springs (rear)
Spohn chassis mount torque arm
UMI drag bar
UMI weld-in relocation brackets
UMI double adjustable panhard (poly)
BMR double adjustable control arms (poly)
BMR weld-in subframes
15x4/15x10 Centerline Telstars w/ 275/60/15 M/T radials

I've been as low as 1.42 with the stock transmission and Vig 3600 last fall, but to me, the new Yank SS3600 feels a lot different and I need some time to figure out what it likes. Last weekend the best 60' was 1.499 and I'm still playing with the rear shocks.

Weight wise, heavy. Full weight, minus front swaybar, ABS, and whatever Strange drag brakes on the rear shave off. Otherwise, everything else is still there (including A/C) and I'm 6'4" 280 lbs., so if I had to guess, I would say close to 3800 lbs. raceweight with a 15 lb. nitrous bottle, NANO bottle, and a half tank of gas. Does that sound about right?

Thanks Mike. Close, 379.82 at Speed Inc. (obviously Jim did the tune) but they are LE2's.

Thanks again Larry. I would love to. Maybe if I'm a really good boy at home for the next couple of weeks I might be able to sneak out for a morning run to Byron.

62N = 150 shot

I think that's a pretty good time with only a 100 shot on a just a 355.

Yes it does. Hotcam isn't going to blow your hair back on motor, but it seems to like the spray.

Thanks again everyone.

Congrats on the 10 sec slip. Weve only been talkin about this for what it seems 2 years now. Way to go. There's some left in it if you've been faster on your 60'
