Default Cam only ta, first time at the track with vids.

Well it wasn't that great at all. No line lock and some crappy tires. Also it does have an 8.8 with the mini ladder bar setup. That's why it launches so weird lol. First time I've ever been at the track since I swapped it to M6 and did all the mods.

Mods are:
ASP UD
Pacesetter LT's
LS7 clutch setup
230/236 cam
True duals
chris1313 ram air

1st pass


2nd pass



1st pass
60' 2.1
330 5.48
660 8.16 @ 92.29
1/4 12.50 @ 104 on the rev limiter in 3rd thought I could finish it off.

2nd pass
60' 2.15
1/8 8.20 @ 92
1/4 12.43 trap speed never seemed to work correctly so I never really trusted it.


Anyways, I really didn't expect a great ET I was just hoping for around a 120 trap but something was wrong with the tracks equipment. It's usually an interstate car lol. On the way to the track I outran an 11 5.0 from a 60-140 roll by about 4 cars. So I think it doesn't like the track lol.

Nice time for your 60ft. Drag racing is all about the 60ft. Get your 60ft down and you'll get a low 12, high 11 et.

Looks like you would trap some where between 112 and 118 depending on gearing.

Well I would expect a little more out of her. I know it's still stock heads but hell, others are pulling it off. Need to get to montgomery motorsports I guess to get a valid time and speed.

Two suggestions
1. Dry hops are for rookies. (in first video not second)
They waste you best launch after burn out and are hard on equipment

2.If your car is pushing while trying to do a burnout (second video) stop right away back up back to the water box and start you burnout at the edge of the water not in the middle.
That car makes enough power to do a nice smokey burnout at the back edge of the water box and power out of the water about 15 feet. Also don't spin the tires going through the water box it gets water all over you wheel tubs that can get on the tires when staged. If you do spin them over one slow revolution is all you need. Too many people burn all the water off in the water box and make doing a burnout harder.

Id agree--I dont think 120 mph is going to happen with just the cam. With a 92 mph 1/8 mile Id expect about 114.
