Congrats on the 11.3s. What does the rest of the slip look like? What kind of problems was you having?

Hotcam with a 200 shot has gone 10's @ 122ish in a 4000+ lb Impala.
Should be easy 10's with the 200 in your car.

Good Lord that Pig is moving on! I cannot wait to get another ltx vehicle.

I would try a 150 shot then step up to the 200 shot. You could possibly hit 10s with the 150 hit.

Just to be clear, I wasn't talking about my car. It was a guy a long time ago that built a 409 LT1 with a Hotcam and put a 200 shot on it. Yes, strange little cam for a stroker, but it worked well in that heavy car.
Mine's gone quite a bit quicker with less cubes, more cam, and less nitrous

I agree completely with dialing it in progressively instead of jumping directly from 100 to 200 shot.

I question why you spent the money on AFRs and then used the Hotcam.

Years ago I was running around 11.20's with a full-weight hot cam bolt-on car on a 150 shot. Several years later I added LE2 heads and intake and went 10.80's.
