Default 9's are getting closer

new best with the combination motorsports heads/cam combo. 10.48 @ 129.3 with a 1.49 60'[200 shot on stock bottom end]. the heads are cnc stage 2. the cam is quite large at 236/238 and over .600 lift on both intake and exhaust. right now we are having issues with the tranny and converter. the converter in there now is the same one i had when i was running the 4.56 gears. so its flashing a little hight on the juice. plans are in the works for a 400 with a brake and a vig converter. hoping to get it to the 9's might be a little optimistic, but we are confident we can get pretty damn close. and even though nitrous makes its own air, the da was 4900 feet on that run. video of that run should be up in the next day or 2.

Wow, that's really moving. What RPM are you shifting at with that big of a cam? How does it drive on the street? Who did the tuning? Sorry for all the questions, I'm looking at getting a cam and I'm not sure which one to go with yet.

on the motor i shift at 7000-7100 rpms. on the spray, i bring it down to about 6700 to stay off the limiter(no window switch yet). i dont have any issues with it on the stree at all. on cold start ups, i have to give it some gas for a couple seconds, but when its warm, it starts right up. and Seth at combination did the tuning. give them a call and they will get you straightened out. and it just so happens they are having a slae on cams and hardware also. 702-798-8504. check out the post in the sponsor section
