Exclamation 10 sec cam only?

maybe im reading this wrong or something, but on the front page of
http://www.thunderracing.com/, it says
"congratulations...for breaking the ls1 camshaft-only record with his T-reX powered TA!" "10.43 @ 130.19"
is this saying that this camshaft can run you in the 10's? d.. can someone clarify this, im confused

thats old news.... you cant just slap that cam in a car and run 10's though. The car is light and setup for drag racing... mid 11's should be easy for that cam and other bolt ons though

low 11's are very within reach with it and a light car

thats a beefy cam.. but like they said, it isn't a totally stock car that they threw a cam on that ran 11s. they mean that the cam had stock heads but i'm sure the car was a full bolt-on car.
