You don't have enough gear or converter for that cam. You would be better off with 4.11's and a 4400 converter.

Yeah definately not the best gears for a Trex. But, it's all in the setup of the whole car, can't slap a TRex in and call it good and expect 10 sec slips NA from it or any cam for that matter.

A TREX is a driveable cam

A TREX clears with stock pistons, heads and gaskets (no flycutting needed)

A TREX is better than the MS3, I would rather compare it to the MS4

I have a TREX in my z28, open headers and it sounds really bad ***, no joking, really bad ***, no ET yet

Very nice run, nice car too.

I don't see any new off the shelf cams out there putting up better track times than these two cams are doing.
