i know your 60ft was bad but that trap is really low. I trap 106-107 with boltons

Something is seriously wrong with your trap. With only LT's and a catback I trapped that. I don't know the size of your cam but I would expect in or around 110mph.

What is the size of the cam? Where are your shiftpoints set to? Could simply just be not shifting the car high enough, that will kill mph.

Well the 2.3 60ft is hurting your trap. . I wouldn't even have bothered without having drag radials with a stalled, cammed car. Get some tires and I think you'll be a lot closer to your goal of mid 12's.

Definately need to get that 60 down. Even at full weight a stalled cammed car should cut at least a 1.8.

doesn't mater what he 60's the power is not there in the mph, his biggest concern should be where is his power at not traction imo

I agree a terrible 60ft usually nets the same if not more MPH in the 1/4.
I hate to say/ask this but is there any good running AI cam only cars on this site??

On the bright side I think the car could go 12s even with that MPH.

(see my sig)

i run mid 12's with that sort of trap time. but depending on DA and altitude i would think ur trap time would be higher also.

trap is basically a measurement of power-to-weight and et is the ability to utilize it.

you are trapping 3mph higher with bolt ons vs his cammed car. only thing I can think of his track elevation is pretty crazy or there is something wrong with the car

where did it stop making power at on the dyno? I'd imagine that cam would want to rev to atleast 6400rpm
