I was running 11.87 with a 2.0 60' 3680 raceweight with a CARTEK 2x (224/228) cam only. Some slicks and skinnies and weight reduction will get you close if you are a good driver.

Hi-stall, 4400+ and 240+ cam. Trex should work nicely. If M6, 6000rpm clutch dumps. Thing is, you need to set your car up to handle what it will need to make 11.2s a reality. That will cost way more than just a cam. Its not hard to make the power to achieve low 11s. It is hard to balance the car so it is capable of doing all it needs to achieve that.

I have run a 11.5 @ 118.0-mph with a 1.55-60' in a car with just lid cat-back and a 125 dry shot with dyno tune, and slicks spraying out of the hole. But it was an A4 car. So you dont need a lot to run 11s.

The 98 heads will limit the HP gain on a Cam.

What do you run now?

Jason99ta went 11-teens with the TR230/224 cam. It's certainly a player in the field.
