Default putting the trex in first part of the week

well is time for a cam, im going to give the new trex cam from thunder a test. i think ill be the first to try out the new cam, im going to try to do a before and after on the dyno with only a cam change for those of you who wanted to see it on a second car with original factory everything in the motor with 43,000 miles on the clock. hopfully ill have up the dyno numbers end of next week and if all goes well ill try to go to the track that friday or saturday to get some time comparisons. wish me luck, im going to start stripping the cars interior tonight. im also going to get some 4.56's and 28" slick after the initial testing to see if i can get her into the 10's with a 3400 lb. weight.
btw, if you dont read parts wanted, i need some 15x10 prostars asap

I will be using the T-Rex as soon as mine gets here.

What exactly all did you get with the "whole package"? I only bought the cam so far.

you will need new valve seals if you go with the crane duals. i also got the retainers, seats, pushrods and gasket kits.

I ran that 10.98 before I had it tuned and before the 12 bolt w/ 4.11's. I gained 60hp from the tune plus I have recently added Kook's headers. I am expecting mid 10's the way it sits now. I am going to run it a few times with my current cam for a good base line then I will swap the cam to see what kind of gains I get... I will be adding a AS Ported LS6 intake and a matching 80mm Billet TB.

sound like another bad *** setup. have fun

im hoping with the addition of some 4.56 gears, 28" slicks and going from 3600 lbs to 3300 lbs.along with the 100rwhp gain from the cam i should get some 10.8's with some 1.4x 60's over my current 1.8 60'. time will tell all
just want to beat the current cam only record of 10.9x with a m6. and he only weighed 3000 lbs.
