getting it on the dyno just to see what its doing would be a good idea. obviously at this point you track dyno says your bigger cam and new tune aint worth ****. get it checked out man, it'll be worth it. whats the car weigh?

your trap speed is kinda low buddy for your weight so i'd check her out there's something wrong either Tranny or Tune .

What heads are you running and is this on spray? I have a hard time believing a 10.68 @ 123 with a C1 cam. Maybe with one of the bigger cams. Are you 100% positive the previous cam was a C1?

unless mti sent me the wrong cam and stamped it wrong it is a C1 and ive checked the lift with a caliper and its dead on but i have no way to check duration. and i have nothing to hide or lie about 10.68 @123 for one i only bracket race and occasionaly street events and i dont want nething to do with nitrous that is only good to break parts.

Uhm, I think 2000-3000 rpms is a little excessive , I think you meant 200-300 rpms.

Which heads? If this is a cam only setup then you have the most impressive cam only car I've ever heard of.
