It's really up to you, it will drive better and run better times with a bigger stall. Depends on what your goals are man.

pretty much it was at kennedale. car has never 60 ft worth a damm. i think the best 60 ft was a 1.92. an i just changed for a bmr non adjustable tq to an adjustable random tech tq and set pinion angle at -2. i have lca and ce rear drag shocks set at 50/50.

I don't know much about that track, but I think it's a decent track to run at from what I remember. I was just thinking you might have been at one of those high elevation tracks in west texas. It should have 60ft better than that to be honest. Get a good converter with that cam or you will just have a turd with a bigger cam.

I went 7.32 @ 93 bolt on only w/ a pt4400 1.52 60ft. You should at least be in the 7.30-7.50 range cam only.
