no . I bought the cam new along with some ported 243 patriot heads and my trac times suck. Seem like my car bogs off the line , no traction problems but the car feels weak off the line. I ran pretty consistent 8.0-8.1 with out the cam and now with the cam, heads and ls6 intake i run 7.90 and high 7.8x. I gained 100 rwhp on the dyno but it seem lazy off the line? Needless to say i hope its the hot temps latley or the tune cause i am not impressed with the track times.

id look into the tune...3600 stall aint that bad and 1.8 60' is decent also...84 mph is weak though...that doesnt back up your hp numbers...i ran 84mpg with 294hp on a 2.1 60'

Most cammed cars perform best with a 4K+ or better stall. SS3600's are too tight to really get the performance you are looking for...a tune check and a TP series Yank converter will do alot better...Theres no reason that car shouldnt see your nitrous times on motor...You could also have a **** set of heads...I say that because ive seen numerous problems with Patriot heads...

thanks guys . I talked to my tuner and he said alot of high compression /horsepower cars are having trouble with there tune because of the bullshit ethonal crap. He told me to take it back so they can fine tune the car. I hope that helps because i was hoping for 7.6 at worst and 7.4 at best but, i guess ill have to wait and see.
