Smile Cam only?

I was wondering if there are any cam only LS1 camaros A4's going low 11's or faster? Thats considering having conveter, boltons, all that stuff, but nothing done the the internal engine besides a cam. Also where could you get a cam of that profile and how much? I want to do a project on a cam only car. Any tips would be great, after all it will be my daily driver. Thanks for the help.

So let me get this straight, these guys are running almost 9's with just a cam, exhaust, weight reduction, and a big converter with gears, I got most of those covered besides the converter, I would like to get high 10's just a cam only like these guys, would a 4400 converter be o.k. for a d.d.? Also i got rid of my heads and cam and nitrous, what cam should I go with? Should I have kept the MS3? Also how do I loose that much weight but yet still retain all the necessities?( wipers, defroster, lil stuff like that) My A.C. is already out as well as backseats. Also they have no head work done like port and polish or any of that? Sorry for sooo many questions but I want to be on that list. Thanks for the help in advance.

im not sure you can get on the list after having h/c on the car,

the only way possible is to put Stock untouched 853 or 241s on the car w/ stock head gaskets

you have to ask the cam questions or do a search in the LS1-LS6 INTERNAL MODIFICATIONS forum

im an M6 guy so i have no idea about converters and which are good and bad and whether they are driveable or not

theres a weight reduction list in the drag racing tech on the top stickied
