11.43 "cam only" Tis the season for new bests I guess. 
Had alot of passes in the 11.40s (7) and the best pass was an 11.433 @ 116.58 (1.52). DA was -605, the track didn't have the scale turned on, but I'm guessing raceweight was about 3325# or so w/a half tank of gas.
Anyone who races at US 41 knows how much of a joke their tech is, and to my suprise they told me I better have a roll bar and a fire jacket next spring.
I know it's a rule and a good one at that, but damn a roll bar in my street car. 
I have a few more pounds to remove and will try to get into the 11.30s before that heavy bar goes in over the winter.

Re: 11.43 "cam only" Thanks everyone. 
Bos, Ya your old cam is workin' well for me. Let me know if ya got a set of heads ya wanna unload.
Coach, I'm looking into my roll bar options and will have one in by the Spring.
Pugs, they don't have any set in stone policys, but they thought it would be a good idea for me and I agree. Besides I would like to race at other tracks and compete in other events. It gets old bracket racing when you can't go any faster than 12.0s.
Rich, I don't need no stinkin' sneeky pete.

Re: 11.43 Good run man I tried to bust a new best last night and busted my 10 bolt for the 3rd time on my 2nd pass 
Keep hacking away at it with that "small cam"

Re: 11.43 "cam only" Thanks guys, sounds like our 10-bolts don't like all this powa. 
I'm on my second one and it's holding up, but for how long??
As far as this cam goes, It may not make the big dyno numbers, but I don't have to spin my stock bottom end to the moon. Shifts happen at about 6400-6500.
98TAauto, I told ya I was gonna get ya.
Get that posi fixed and run some bottom 11s.

Re: 11.43 Mark,
what was your best run at US41 on Saturday at the MiM.
Just curious how the weather affected you compared to the other night when you posted your best.

Re: 11.43 ill be ready for ya by the time you get heads.. ill give ya till next spring LMAO
that 60 is awesome. If mine woulda went sub 1.55's she woulda hit the 11.4's also. We are tic for tat
mine held 4 years of 1.6's and 1.5's so it did me well!
btw, im shifting at 6450.. no need to spin her higher.. im in peak power from 5900-6300 with the heads so cam only would be the same for me
hell, with some better weather you may beak 11.39's MUAHHHHAHHAHAHH
