yes it does.
and he could yes, but there are plenty of people who run the LPE 211-219 cam and others that are similiar in duration that have full bolt-on's including headers.
its all a matter of personal prefference.

yea i did a huge john force burn out both times and they seemed to hook alot better than they had before.
212-219 with some decent lift .53x's and .54x's and thats with stock rockers so with 1.6's it goes up even more.

Damn, if I had known the specs on this cam when I was looking for small cams I possibly would have gotten it instead of my LPE due to the higher lift!
Small cams are fun!!

with a 3200 stall you should be able to cut much better 60foot's last year with my 3200vig, i hit a few 1.69's and consistant 1.7's with the track nice and prepped. I ran a 13.08 with a 1.8 60ft at 102mph with cat-back, stock manifolds, cold air, no cats, slicks and the 3200vig. Seems like your set-up should have more in it with that MPH and get that 60ft down and i see 12.7's preety easy if not better...
I trapped 104.5 on a 90* summer day. That was with cai and catback only, on the stock goodyear eagle gsc's. I would say your slightly down on power(could be the converter), but overall not bad at all. 12's is nice congrats!

i have a tune! and like i said if i were at sea level that would have been a 12.66 with a 106 trap speed. for a stalled auto i'd say thats pretty damn good.
plus i still have the stock TB.

and for the record, i trapped 104 with just a cat back and intake as well but that was before the converter.
Dude im not knockin your setup, im just sayin the converter could be eatin a few mph on the big end, notice the congrats at the end of my post!!!!!!! Not sure on Da im in northeast indiana, it was 90 out with 100% humidity. Besides that was 8yrs ago, I was just goin back in my head and tryin to compare. Im sure you can get that 60ft down a bit and it will run mid 12's.

and if i could get potentially a 1.7 60' that'd be .4 off my 1/4 mile time using the rule of thumb that every tenth in your 60' dropped is 2 tenths total 1/4 mile time dropped.
thanks for reading everyone and after this coming weekend and some practicing launching i hope to be coming back with a better time for you guys!

but i would be alot happier with a mid 12 true true
haha! ill be working my launch out this coming weekend and hope to come back with at least a 12.7.
and yea i know those calculators arent the best, but hey its an estimate. i guess ill just have to travel to one of these tracks that have some negative DA's or near zero
