I may stick in my transmission. It's in a carport, but working on a car in the cold sucks.

If I was running 11.29s on a 224; I'd probably leave it in there. What other cam do you have? That's a pretty good 60ft. By pretty good, I mean way better than I've ever done. What rear end/gears/launch rpm?

The cam I pulled the 1.59 with is a Comp 228/228 581/581 112. I've pulled probably 30 1.60x's but I finally got my 1.59. I have a spooled 9" with 4.11's on 15x 11.5.15 ET Streets.

whats the norm for a 224?

My car is light. It is a factory stripper but it is good for 11.6's full weight in decent weather. It now has weight removed it runs consistent high 11.4x's low .5's. Remember, it is alot more than just the cam. It's all about the total package

wow, can you believe that the hardest part of taking the old exhaust manifolds of were taking the old plug wires off. other then that its pretty easy. i also did away with all of that egr bullshit and put a freeze plug in the intake. remember i have a 2000 car.

yeah but you have stock heads and suspension. So are you saying that your car runs that fast cause its so light? Isnt your total "package" a bolt on car and a cam with weight reduction of course?

cainsw

iTrader: (11)

It takes the total package. You have to be willing to wring a 6 speed out if you want it to run. I leave the the line at between 55-5800rpms. If you can't get it off the line it will not run the number. They will not run if you are not willing to launch with alot of RPM. Weight does have a lot to do with it also. It is a full bolt on car. Here's my mods.
Modified Mac headers/ ORP
Dual 3" exhaust with bullets
Spooled 9" 4.11's
Weld Wheels 15x3.5 fronts, 15x10 rears 26x11.5x15 ET Streets

cainsw, you said you have a tr cam... have you ever heard that the lobes on the thunder racing cams break off? that is what my friend told me last night, he has a truck though. i dont know much more about it.

cainsw

iTrader: (11)

Thats the first I've heard of that. Mine has about 25000 miles on it now though.

taws6m6

iTrader: (37)

damn, that would suck. I have never heard of any lobes breaking off of any cams before. Didnt even know that was possible, guess anything could happen tho
