Sleeper cam? I see these guys that have some mild suspension and some have none at all maybe subframes. They are running 11.30's cam only automatic cars trapping 116ish. The tone of the exhaust tells you somthing is up at WOT but at idle it sounds like a stock cam. What cams are these people using and why arent there more people using them? Is it the baby cam and some good porting on the heads? Can anyone give me some ideas as to what cams they are using. Whats the point of putting a big cam in your car when you can obviously put somthing alot smaller in and it will out perform. 1 car I know of has NO NITROUS and these auto guys are real secretive.
Help!

Those are cars with cams that have little overlap and higher stalls, like yours and higher.
As far as suspension, LCA, thicker rear sway, poly bushings and front sway removal is enough for those times.
I'm sure that their cars underwent a serious diet as well (weight reduction)

To calculate overlap:
{(int DUR+exh DUR)/2) - 2*LSA= Overlap

Go with the CheaTR, it performed almost like my FM13 (.1 slower) and idles like stock, even with headers and no cats. My friends stock T/A with flowmasters sounds meaner than my camed T/A. His T/A is like 2 seconds slower.
