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

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?

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
