Predator Z,
Your custom 230/228 cam that was spec for RMTT is the only custom grind that just made ridiculous power. All these other custom cams i see guys pimpin arent really that more impressive than a typical off the shelf cam.
But yes, RMTT setup is one ridiculous setup.

El Toro is not a nitrous cam. Why don't you contact Ed Curtis at Flowtech Induction. He has done many GTO setups and can cater to your needs.
Also El Toro is not a drag cam. It was designed as a strong street cam, more for Vettes than f-bodies (due to exhaust difference). It does well under certain parameters but not for what you are looking for IMO.

A full fledged drag cam would have better top end power. El Toro is more of an undercurve cam, kinda an all around cam. Perfect for street for which i designed it for. It works well in the 1/8th and tend to flatten a bit on the back 1/2. Still capable of 125mph on stock cubes cam only. A full fledged drag cam would be more in the 128mph range.

Yeah, when he felt ready to go faster and quicker. But it was bigger than the 230/230, he did heads as well and is into the 9s now. Chris is meticulous and does things right. His father has a nice ride as well.

There is more than just cam to be quick in the 1/8th. Your stall is very important as well as is car weight and your ability to plant that power in a quick 60'

Well I understand that. I've been racing for a long time, just not a LS car. What I meant was, with all else being equal and well sorted out, I'm not gonna be leaving TOO much on the table with this cam right? I'm already thinking about a 4000-4400 stall instead of the 3600, even though the 3600 feels good on the street.
