Default best Hotcam mph?

I know i'm gonna get flamed for this, so before you all tell me to get a "real" cam, I just wanted to know what is the quickest e.t. and mph recorded by a hotcammed LS1? Preferably cam-only but all results are appreciated.

I've gone 12.1@117 @ 3485lb's at 1750' DA in a 6spd. Z28 w/ 16" rims on stock heads. . .oh, and it's never been dyno-tuned. I have increased timing and my limiter is set to 6600rpms.
My mods: hooker LT's, mufflex 3" y-pipe, custom catback w/ ultraflow 3" muffler, LS6 intake, 4.10's in the stock 10 bolt, 245 nitto DR's, crank pulley, Lid, and I think that's pretty much it.

It's not the fastest mph, but when you factor in the no dyno-tune, and no skinnies, and DA, and even raceweight, it's up there w/ 90% of the other cams that people love to say make more HP than the Hotcam.

Try 11.29@120.9 on a 7.14@97 1/8 on a 1.54 60' on BFG Drag Radials.
I'm also in Ky Fbodies Unlimited AVEZ so if you have questions you can pm me on shift points or any other questions. I've wondered for a long time, I haven't saw anyone post a quicker ET or MPH out of a hotcam than that though.

OH yeah and don't worry I've thought about changing cams myself, but I am honest scared the car would slow down. Once you hit a good combo, don't mess with it.

i am doing a similar setup but have a little smaller converter so I will be hoping for slightly worse results. Those are pretty good though for any cam on those mods

Snake Skinner, 11.29@120.9 mph with the hotcam is just plain awsome. I was way off on my estimate. 120.9 mph in a n/a A4 is unbelievable. Great Job.
