Default cam results

LAst yr with lt's, 4.10's, intake exhaust, tb I ran a 13.8 @106.9. Bad reaction , no traction.

Today with my cam and ud pully, my best was 13.8 at 109.6. No traction at all!!! My first run I dumped the clutch at 1200 and the car didn't move. Literally. That was a 15.2@107. But I got better throughout the day.


Is 3mph a good gain for the ud pully and cam? Not done tuning it yet. I compared my reults this yr with last. And it almost looks like the cam hurt my midrang, but obviously helped my upper. I know my 116 lsa is high, shoulda went lower. But didn't wana hurt idle quality.

The car feels very strong.

I only gained 4mph from my cam/intake swap but picked up 5 tenths so far in the 1/4. Each car is different but I had a decent mph of 112 without the cam and now I'm at 116.

We need to know some more variables to really help you. What was your 60ft? What kind of power are you making to the wheels? With a bad 60ft like you are stating can be up to 5-8 tenths in the 1/4 that you are missing. Let us know some more about the runs and the car.

i don't think that car is running very good for the given mods. i would expect a 114+ trap, more without traction.

tuned? what rpm are you shifting?

location play a big role there....track conditions d/a .....at our track it takes a power adder or a full blown h/c setup to trap that mph......
