4.10's vs Cam...
 
I've been searching for a while and going back and forth whether I want to do a cam swap or gears. I haven't been able to find any hard results on it.
I looked on the GTO forum and there are only about 10 people that actually drag race there so its hopeless, but searching on here I havent found anything significant either.

The cam I'm planning on going with is a 234/236 613/613 112LSA
And the gears are going to be 4.10's.

I currently am at 12.0 - 12.1 @ 113.x with a best of 1.69 60'. (about 1500-2000DA)

My mods are -
Svede CAI, FAST 102, Kooks 1 7/8 LTs, Full 3", Tune (402/412)

I'm trying to dip into the 11's and know that both of these will put me there. I just want to get the most out of my money.

So let me know what kind of data everyone has!

I would put a converter in before I did anything else. It will get ya there and you will need it with a cam for later. and It does more for et than a gear, unless your running a stick. then I am out. Good luck.

sorry forgot to mention I have a manual

Cam...you already have the FAST 102, so you should see good gains.

gconnoyer Jan 10, 2011 06:04 PM

I figured that the gears would get me .2-.3

the cam, normally, picks up about 60whp....but as far as ET, no one that has tried it has ANY track numbers. Just a bunch of dyno queens.

my vote would be the cam. putting a lower gear into the rear, is only going to weaken it. put the $ in your motor, and save for a different rear, thats assuming your still on a 10 bolt..

I'm on the stock GTO IRS......no 10 bolt here

cam and 3.90s not 4.10s

my buddy had a 06 gto cam only and went 11.50s @ 119ish

he had et streets, pumped upto 25 psi to save his irs and from wheel hop, he also had an airbag

going on ls1gto will have better info for you

I'd love to do both, just haven't robbed a bank lately lol.

I have ET Drags so it doesnt hop at all.

LS1GTO.com is a bunch of dyno queens. There are only and handful of active drag racers over there.

Cam.... That won't limit your MPH in the future like a set of 4.10's will
