With your race weight i say you can get 10's with cam only. My car weighted 3500 on nittos and ran an 11.3 with stock suspension. I have the F13 cam and ported LS1 heads. Made 421hp. If i had your weight and some suspensions i would be seeing some nice 10's! YOU CAN DO IT! Good Luck. I would suggest the F13 cam.

John. yes extra exhaust may not do much or even anything on motor alone but it will usually always help the engine on the spray.

Great, thanks guys. I'm going to do a few more things to try and get into the tens Cam Only, then swap converters, spray a 150 Wet shot, and see what she can do.

I still have to get:
Drag brakes, one Sparco fighter seat, 12 bolt w/4.10, wolfe anti-rollbar 28x10 slicks, better weather, and remove another 70 lbs behind the dash. Wish me luck, I'm going to need it. HA.

FM cams are made by Futral Motorsports, the G5X cams are made by LG Motorsports. Both are site sponsors.

Local guy has a '99 SS auto w/G5X3 & mildly ported stock heads.
3250 raceweight. Runs mid 10's at ~125. He dynoed 425rwhp not sure on torque.

Based on his setup and times I'd say you should definitely be able to run in the 10's w/cam only, if you're setup properly.

That's bad ***! Sounds like a killer setup.

Yeah I just ran into the guy on the street this past Saturday. he lives in the same town as me. We pulled over and talked etc. its a real nice car, only like 20k miles on it etc. I'd give you the link to the video's of his track runs but I checked and unfortunately they aren't up any more. The runs were done at Atco in NJ. Anyhow, good luck with your car, I'm certainly no expert, but I personally don't think you'll have too much of a problem getting into the 10's.



Quick Reply: What's best Cam only: FM13, TSP 231/237, or G5X3?
