New best with 231/237 cam
I took it out to the drag strip last night and ran my personal best so far since I install my cam last month:
12.23 @ 114.06 mph (1.77 60')
One thing's for sure... I need a new clutch. I can't launch at anything over 4.5k rpms with the stock clutch in there. If I had a clutch that would allow me to launch at 6k or so, I think it'll run 11s easy.
Overall, I'm pretty pleased... my next mods will be a clutch, driveshaft, and skinnies up front (running 17" factory SS wheels up front for now). Maybe a little weight reduction on my heavy 230lbs *** would help too.

nice run, there's definately room for improvement as you mentioned. Looking at the 60 foot and trap speed I'd say you have an 11.80 pass easily with a good hook and clutch that'll hold, and then it'll continue to drop as the air quality improves.
