Cam choice help!
Cam choice help! I am in the market for a cam but have no idea of what kinda to get. My goal is to run in the 11's with a stock bottom end. It's a daily driver in fact my only car soo it needs to be reliable too.
2001 camaro z28 m6
Mods so far are:
ls6 intake
SLP lid
hooker LT's
ORY
Rumbler on the way
dyno with current mods- 332 rwhp 348 rwtq
planing to get some drag radials soon and mount them on corvette rims.
So any suggestions would help. A local perforamce shop has a custom grind cam that they want to sell me but it's like 1,100 bucks!

how deep into the 11's are you looking for and whats your current E.T/trap speed?
if it were me i'd forget the cam at this point and time and invest the money in a rear end and clutch.

Soo by rear end im guessing you mean gears or 12 bolt? and if gears what size? I am already planning on getting a clutch but i am having no problems with the one i have at the moment why would i need to upgrade my rear. Is the stock one really that weak. Is it going to break with a motor under 500 hp. I can think of plenty of things i would much rather spend 1900 bucks on.

let me catch my breath
havent been around fbodies much have you
. if your serious about drag racing a new rear is a must. i bet you that you could break your rear as is on a well prepped track, sticky tires, and a 6k clutch dump.

With proper suspension, drivetrain and tire, no need for a big cam to run 11's.
If you want to go at it *** backwards (like many of us do), throw a big cam like an TSP MS3, a Futral F14, or a TRex and enjoy some decent MPH traps hovering around the 11.9 - 12.1 sec. ET zone. At the very least get a good clutch and some Drag Radials, some 4.10's and pray before each launch.
