New Cam only bests with my G5X4 
This all happened at a track rental today here in MD. Race weight is 3600 lbs. All in all I am happy the car has come this far and hopefully with a little weight reduction it should run 10.9*'s. There were some passes where I went 7.15 in the 1/8th at 96 mph and these definitely would've been 11.1* passes but because my stick was loose I missed 4th and went into 6th.

26-27 mph gain from the 1/8 to ¼ is outstanding for a NA car. What gear ratio and tire size are you running?

Very nice! I will be setting mine up alot like your.
I have mine picking up 25-26mph from 1/8-1/4. I plan to change my setup when the springtime (good weather) is about over. I will be swapping gears, tires and cam. I still haven't stepped up from the TR224 yet.
I also need more than a 4.10 gear and more tire. My best was 11.48@122.48 on a blown 1.69 60ft. Sure needed my normal 1.60. What sucked, I got one pass in before it started raining. Think I had a high 11.2-low 11.3 in it If I'd got another one. But there is lots of good weather racing coming up real soon!
