This cam would have went 7.37 if I would not have got on the brakes in 1000 D/A. It had a 1.680 60'.

It actually picked up 2 hundredths in the 60' over the old smaller cam which was very surprising. Tells me that I could have went bigger on the intake duration.

It also leaned the car out about a half of a point. It is at about 13.2 right now. So I will jet it up 1 all around and see if this cam likes any more timing on Wednesday night. We are forecasted to have better air on Wednesday.
Thats awesome considering your still tuning and most likely more in it!

Compared to your runs https://ls1tech.com/forums/15285206-post358.html you picked up about a 1/10th already!

Good gain. How much more do you expect from tuning?

I was not as impressed myself initially. But, I will hold my final judgement until after Wednesday when I have a chance to jet it up and see if it will take some more timing. The fact that it was quicker in the 60' and e-t yet did not make more MPH caught me quite by surprise I must say.

Well, I just may go the way of the bigger cam. Before I do, I will likely back this one up a little first and see how it responds.

I like it! I was thinking Nitrous might be my Christmas present to myself.

If you want to buy the old cam, you can PM me and we will talk details.

LOL Bottles are for babies J/k but I wonder how much the 100 shot will give you compared to the extra weight you need to add tot he car for a cage etc to meet Tech for the track?
