Yeah that's about how we want it. We got lucky and guessed that right on the first pull

Ok so we decided to have Martin at Tick Performance spec a cam for us. We are also going with PRC .675 springs, Brian Tooley SLR lifters and a set of Yella Terra rockers to top it all of. Hoping to pick up close to 30-40 hp

He was already on the LS train because of my LS swapped 97 Camaro. But now he is LS all the way, no going back. Sold everything he had Gen 1 related.

Had another pull yesterday and due to rain the night before the track was really hooking. We didn't have enough nose weight on the first pull and it pulled the front wheels to high. As soon as it did lost traction and momentum.

We added 40 lbs to the nose, turned it up, and broke a damn axle, lol. Ordering 35 spline Moser axles on Monday. Really looking forward to the next pull in Nov with the cam swap, valvetrain upgrade, and heavy duty axles.

So are we Martin! Thanks for the help man. But since the motor is cam only, and you spec'd the cam, doesn't that make you one of the most important people on the team?! Lol.
