I think so IF you are willing to really rev it out. A bigger cam is going to only make more power by moving the power band up in rpm. If you do not want to change shift points I do not think you will gain from more cam. If you move your hp peak up another 300-500 rpm and then bump shift points accordingly, then yes you can get that last tenth.
What are you shifting at now?

As stated...launch it... 4800 stall? Or 5200 stall? Rpm band, rear gear, stall size, tire size, weight of said car/truck is To be Matched...
You need 1.2xx Or lower 1.30 60ft then you'd get something Look at the 8th mile you have 1/4mile hp @ 3200lbs Get the chassis dialed in...* Match* Stall, rear gear,weight and best Tq rpm point...Stall is at your max or better half in the Rpm band...Matched to weight, rear gear,and Where your comfortable with launching.
60 ft and 1/8mile tells much about a combo....hi 5's? Great 9sec pass even 8's with 5.7 - 5.8 1/8mile pass with Correct gear for 1/4 mile.

Depending...some may see a great mph but lack luster....et. What does this Say?
Simple if thought over. 5 sec 1/8 with a 376ls3 and a ....i'd say 2890 stang hyd roller....nothing Special...Great 60 time = race is or et was attained.
The 60ft and 1/8 ...this is when Matching parts Comes into play for a ET ....
Kilers lay withing the 60ft vs a similar build na, fi .....if i'm out you gone if similar in build nature Na vs Na with a lesser build. Camaro with a 416 or 408tfs heads goes 9's how? Ask Tuskey 4 sizes...
60 ft! Around the same weight if not more. Matched Combination?

It will get faster. 1) Line lock isn't working so i'm not getting enough heat in the tires which hurts my 60'. 2) It's a new set up and I'm basically starting all over with my suspension dial in. 3) Humidity was in the high 90's.One thing for sure is that I will keep chipping away at it.

I also have an 8" fti and flash to 5300. Haven't tried to see what it will go up to on brake yet.
I think now with that lod intake, you may want to loosen it up some but be careful you don't lose some top end efficiency .
I run the sniper intake, this lod shows me potential.

Definitely! Lifts are powers. For some reason I did not remember your lift being that low fwiw my next cam will be 740 lift or thereabouts
Maybe if you can stomach it raise that shift point 100 rpm (?).
You are already getting off the line quite well. You thought about bias ply?
