Default New set-up in and tuned, 99FRC.

Well pulled the Thunder reverse split cam out and replaced with an EnglandGreen grind named "Whiplash". Cam specs are proprietaty, so all I know is 6XX,6XX mid 240's duration on a 114LSA. After fighting with the tune for two weeks I had Stephen from EG E-mail a tune to get me in the ballpark. Dyno'd the car and netted 365RWTQ and 402RWHP. I made a few passes last week at the track also and manged a HoHumm 12.20@117 with a blazing quick 1.99 60'. I really like the cam, idles awesome and the car is still pulling at 6500 RPM. Still in the hunt for an 11.99. Would like to get a sub 12.0 pass before the Patriot heads go on...

Considering the specs on that cam, it seems you should've made more power bro. That cam is in the ballpark of the g5x4. A lot of g5x4 cam only cars have made 425 to 450 rwhp. Are you running a SAFE tune ??

It is good to see people getting away from the reverse split cam fad from a few years ago. If those are the stock heads( didn't see any heads in your sig ), those are pretty good numbers for a cam and bolt ons.
