I agree 100%.
Anyways here is what I spent my night doing....
First I guess you could say it isn't "technically" cam-only since it has a Fast92 but this is what I did tonight...
Spent about an hour and a half dialing the fuel curve after sending the converter off to be tightened fo the upcoming thrashing this stock bottom end is going to receive via a lot of nitrous very soon.
This is with a 239/247 .624/.624 110lsa installed straight up, Fast 92, 96mm tb, ARH 1x7/8" with 6-8" extensions off headers and Vibrant 3"x5" mufflers.
Unlocked TH400 FTI 9" stall converter and 20psi of air in the tires, and yes 20psi I didn't pump them up to try and inflate the numbers. I just wanted to get the motor dialed in as best as possible making the most power it can before I spray it. This was with 27* total timing also.

It's had the same cam in it since it was a N/A set-up.
I've wanted to change it forever especially when I was running into trouble with the car not running what I thought it should.
Hell you even told me that the cam would be fine until I started spraying 250-300 or more which I tend to agree with although I think it could stand to have a wider LSA with some advance, but it will work for the next 2-3 months until the new set-up goes in and takes the stock motors place.
If I was to change it I'd change it to the nitrous grind I specified for our line of Elite Camshafts to be our dedicated nitrous grind for 325-364 c.i. engines which is 238/252 .615"/.595" 114+5.

Remember I said I'm pushing it in the pond across the street if it didn't run the number, well unfortunately that pond is now 65 miles away LMAO.
I'm going to have to find another one to push it in if it doesn't run right! Or maybe it'd be time to shove the tuner into the pond!
Wait that'd be me nevermind....

Well I should have the lines, fittings and fuel pressure regulator bracket here tomorrow or the next day from NX.
We decided that leaving the regulator mounted to the tank as far down as it was and as far away as it was from the solenoids was a bad idea and just looking for trouble from a lean spike.
I do not want to go blowing my intake all over the track on the hit just because I was too lazy to move the regulator and was in a hurry. I've waited this long to make sure it's all right I decided I could wait another week.
SO that said, the debut of the car will be delayed slightly as if it wasn't already, but it's coming soon I PROMISE!!!

Here is what the final curve ended up looking like with the fuel curve dialed in nice and flat from the hit of the throttle to the end of the run.
NX is sending my fittings, lines and regulator bracket over night so I have them asap! This things hitting the track soon fella's!

Are you going to piedmont Sunday? I'm going to run mine there Sunday. I have jons cam in it and I pulled the heads and put the hollow ls3 valves in. I put a .074 jet in it so it should finally do something.

Man Travis I don't even want to commit to it because if I do there will be SOMETHING that happens in getting this thing ready for the track that will keep me from being able to make it so I'm just going to pretend like I'm not going(lol) and hope I can.
