Default First time out with cam only T/A

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well a few months ago I took my boys T/A to the track. It went a 12.55@114 with headers, lid(which I thought was stock)Ypipe, catback. Everyone was calling bs. Everyone said it had a cam because of the mph. So my boy said f it lets see what it would do with a cam and gears. We put a MS4 cam and got Cartek to tune it. Cartek told him they don't think its a ms4 cam because of the way it idles. The car made 390rwhp tru 4.10 gears. We also got a set a skinnes.The only time I drive the car is at the track so I don't real have a feel for the shift points and how the car drives yet. I made about 7 passes and the best pass was 11.72@117mph. That's a pick up of 8tenths from a cam install, tune, skinnes and gears. It picked up 4mph in the 1/8 but only 3 in the 1/4. I also get a new pb 60' of a 1.57 put the 330 was alittle slower. More seat time and better weather looking for 11.40-11.50's. This is a break down of the ticket.

1.615
4.844
4.498
93.36
9.805
11.726
117.71

Nice run! I met you guys at MIR after your previous post. I cammed my CETA now too. A 226 cam and a 3000 stall converter. Hopefully it will run as well as you guys. BTW who did your install, and did you check the cam that came out of it. Seems like only gaining 3 mph in the 1/4 with an MS4 cam and gears install should confirm that it had something in it....You should bring it out to the Fbody shootout at MIR on Sept 6th. Lots of track time and cool fbody's there.

Good numbers! I don't know why anyone would question your old numbers. 12.5 @ 114 is fast for the mods, but not out of the question (mine raon those numbers with those mods).

What are you using for rear tires/suspension?

Nice runs! I watched the other two on there from what looks like the same night too. I bet it has alot more in it after some suspension work too. It leaves pretty hard without hardly lifting the front at all. Did you catch the Mustang in the last bracket race? The video cuts off..
