In addition, there are guys with moderate weight reduction done that are running 10's cam only. Seriously not trying to rag on you but you really cant go by those calculators, they arent bad but they dont apply to all real world applications.
Check out your sig of your old car, 98 Z28 NBM M6, magnaflow cb, Mac headers, catted y (gutted now), Pro 5.0, SCC SS Hood, 18 chrome z06's, STB, MSD wires and NGK plugs, 232/238 cam, ls6 intake, ported stock TB, 25% pulley, ls7 clutch/ls2 flywheel, UMI panhard rod, UMI lca's, weld-in sfc, 370 rwhp/356 rwtq 98 heads
Add a 100 shot of nitrous and you would only have 450rwhp, wouldnt you say that you had healthy boltons? What were you running with your car?

Thunder Racing Custom "TRAK" Camshaft - 231/234 .640/.590 112 LSA 2400-6800 RPM Power Band. Excellent mid-range & high RPM power. 3200+ stall, 3.42+ gear, computer tuning required. Due to the fast ramp rate of this camshaft, the use of 1.8 rockers is not recommended. Comp 921 Valve Springs are highly recommended.
yes???

Also a 10 second time slip is gauranteed with any amount of HP. There are guys with 400 rwhp running 10's while there are guys with 500 rwhp running 11's as its all due to the setup (tranny, rear end, tires, suspension, etc). 500 rwhp isnt going to garauntee 10's but its def enough power to get you there with the right setup.

Also,
whats does the +2 mean here : 228/232 110 +2
the plus 2 means that there is +2 degrees advance ground into the cam. I say go with a combo such as the MS3 or MS4 and the PRC terminator heads. If you look in the dyno section there is a guy making over 470 rwhp with the combo, fast 90/90, LTs, etc. there are so many choices out there though that it depends on what your looking for but that combo would be good for 11's all day and with a 100 shot you could see 10's with the right suspension/rear/tranny

its ok dont worry about it..
Texas Speed Torquer v.2 Camshaft 232/234 .595/.598 - should I get 112 or 114 LSA? I was considering 114, because I dont really my dad to know Im getting a cam, but I know 112 will have a nicer power band right? Is it that much of a difference?

My buddy has bolt ons, and cam only running 11.30 all day. Its an FM13. Its an auto, with ET streets and interior gutted. Carpet, center console, seats, door panels. All the goodies. I think 3.42s also.

definitly true......if you want something seriously unnoticeable look at something like the cheatr cam.
