1/8 mile Vs. 1/4 mile cam?
If a car will only see the 1/8 mile and NOT the 1/4, what are some of the different specs you would look for in a cam?
I know gearing can be changed to counteract most of the difference, but given normal M6 3:42 gearing in both scenarios.

Agreed. It seems like the 228R is what he is looking for.

cam and gear accordingly..... 1/8 mile or 1/4 mile has no effect... My car never see's below 4000rpm's during a run.-From the start to the finish whether it be 1/8 or 1/4... You gear the car for the 1/8 or 1/4, you dont CAM for the 1/8 or 1/4.

thats a good question lol, in third and guessing about 5-5500 im usually frustrated by that point because of the launch and dont pay any attention .last time at the track only pass cut 2.0 best 60ft so far and missed third crossed lights coasting at 72mph and ran 8.30 which was personal best 1/8th

In the 1/8th a good topend has less time to make up for a mediocre launch so if anything 1/8th mile 60ft is more important.
Gear to use available rpm is important too I am not arguing that.
You have a .50 OD so gear is not going to hurt you on the highway or anything, just lets you use 6th more.
