Can i get in the 10's with a cam????
 
MADE A FEW PASSES AT THE LOCAL TRACK YESTERDAY. I WENT 11.55 @ 116 WITH A 1.57 60 FT. MY SPECS ARE IN MY SIG. MOTOR HAS STOCK INTERNALS. DO YOU GUYS THINK A CAM SWAP WILL GET ME IN THE 10'S?......(OH YEAH IT WAS 83 DEGREES OUT AND THERE WAS A 22 MPH HEADWIND:bang:)

i think a cam drops .5 of ur second not sure wow thats impressive time almost 10s motor get some nitrous and u will be seeing 9s

ssracer337 Apr 26, 2009 10:31 PM

Thanks, i am hoping i could shave .5 of sec. And 9's would be crazy but scared to put the juice on the boosted stock motor.

My brother's '95 Formula is on stock internals, and also has a P-1SC. His car ran a 10.914 @ 121.90 mph with a 1.452 sixty foot last year. That 22 mph head wind was definitely hurting you, how much boost are you running? You should be able to get into the 10's without a cam, a lot of it time can be gained by working on your 60 ft. Bob

Bob, that is good to hear. I am making 8 lbs of boost. I forgot to mention that my car is prettty fat at 3780 lbs. It is dead hooking off the line. I know I could shave some weight and do better but I still daily drive this car and am not ready to lose the ac and other accesories yet. Any suggestions??

I see no reason why the cam won't get you into the 10's. If you keep that 60' time you will be there for sure. What was your 1/8th mile time out of curiosity?

ssracer337 Apr 27, 2009 08:09 AM

I don't have the slip in front of me but I think it was 7.3 @ 96 mph

ssracer337 Apr 27, 2009 09:47 PM

any other opinions? Kinda wondering what gains I would see in hp with a good cam and the same amount of boost (8lbs)

elgp Apr 27, 2009 09:54 PM

diffrent cam set up might work bro and those are pretty impressive numbers bro keep it up

Our blower cam would give you a lot more power, especially since you already have a converter. http://www.exoticperformanceplus.com....html?item=679 Bob

Update after cam swap
 
I installed epp's blower cam and after some tuning, pulley swapping (making 10lbs) and fuel system improvements I finally got to the track....and the results were good. I ran a 10.98 @ 121 with a 1.52 60 ft...still 3780lbs :headbang:
