whats the most proven cam?
are you on stock heads? i highly doubt your cam only car made 430whp through a 4k vig stall.
i'd guess you were on a generous dyno. at that mph you're prob closer to 400whp, which would be more realistic of a stalled auto. a bad converter will dyno lower, as well.
a big cam is a big cam. what makes the difference at the track is setup and da.

Lol proven can mean a lot of different things. There are ls6 cam cars in the tens. Wouldn't that say something?
And there is a reason the trex is on the cam only list, it is obvious but most people don't think about it. And I thought someone best the old cam only best?
Trex is not the most proven cam.. The most proven would be an all around cam. Something like the 228r or the like. Something that makes good power all around is good for dd and gets the job done at the track.*I'm not saying the 228 is it, just an example.

Same pred.. Mine was a 4000-4400 vig. Didn't show in the 1/8 bit above 110mph it really showed it wasn't that efficient. I'm sure the 410s didn't help either however.
Vig hits hard just isn't that efficient on average.

You aren't going to gain much if anything from a cam swap IMO.
You need to look elsewhere for gains worth the effort.
I am highly skeptical of the people claiming a full weight cam only auto trapping 118-120. Around 112-115 seems much more realistic especially in any kind of positive DA.

Drop some weight off the car, put a set of 243's on it, or spray it and be happy. A cam swap alone will not change much.
I would say the most proven cam would be either TR's 224 or 228r. Those were the first two that came to mind when I saw this thread title.
