Default Wish me luck! Going to the track on new setup

I'm heading out to Beech Bend tonight to try out the new setup. The car feels good, hopefully get some new bests. I'm still on my 230/236 stock head tune, but I will make a few changes at the track.

I have been wanting to go with that cam (230/236) for a while now. I am wanting to only spin it to 6200 rpms. Please let me know how your car pulls. I will also be porting my heads along with the cam.

I turned mine to 67-6800 with stock heads. Power really didn't fall off until then.

I guess I didn't get enough luck I made part of one pass here's how she looked before the Accell Opti exploded
rt .016
60' 1.694
330 4.842
1/8 7.479
mph 93.49
1000 9.779
1/4 11.767
mph 109.78
She started popping when I shifted into 3rd, I guess the opti didn't like the rpm I think it would have been a 11.4-11.5 pass, oh well I guess **** happens.
