Thumbs up Me vs 2001 Z28

Hello guys and gals.
This is my first race after installing PS headers, ory, Cut-out.
Any way i raced a 2001 z28 M6, role on 35 mph, after the third horn he went infront only one car after third gear i pulled About half a car. I didn't win but i was happy cause his mods are full boltones, 3.73 gears, cam, tune.
what do you think ?

I asked the guy and his only respond was Comp Cam.
he refuses to give me any information about that cam + he raced with open cut-out.

I hate when people do that!

His cam might be a good size and he doesnt want to tell you the cam size because you hung with him with less mods.

Youre on your way but really, a cam and heads is the minimum needed these days to be fast. Now get you a good cam and kick his azz.

If your car is a 6spd then you will be fine, but I agree with waiting for your buddy to come home so he is able to help out. It will be a totally different car after a good cam/tune, you will wish you had done it sooner. Good luck.

237/242 .603/.609 112, 113, or 114 LSA

Is this correct? If so yea, Id get it on a 113 like my old TSP 233/239/603/603/113 and I wished I had gone a bit larger. Id do it. Once you get it tuned, it will be VERY nice, may need a 3:73 though to help the bottom end but anything over 3k, BAM it will pull hard. You will need springs though.

Yeah 114 is what i'm looking for. with springs, pushrods, lifters, tune, maybe spray 100 shots wet. i may go over 510 rwhp
I have to stop thinking about it cause i'm thinking of getting these stuff in October
