New Cam Times (Not Happy)

Well i took the car to the track last night with the new cam. The cam is a 230/236 .577/.572 on a 112 with stock heads and stock intake. All mods are in sig. The temp was in the upper 90s and humidity was also upper 90s and I ran a best of 8.10 with a 1.77 60'. I am very disappointed. I have some serious tuning issues and the car was falling on its face out of the hole. Then it would pick up a bunch from half track on. My previous best before the cam was a 8.25 and I know this cam should pick me up alot more than that. I was looking for atleast a 7 second pass but oh well time to get this thing lined out and get it back to the track.

Youll get there. Once that thing gets tuned itll fly. Im going to do a lot of the same stuff to my car thats done to yours minus the 3.73s. And Im keeping stock exhaust and just putting an electric cutout on it so its quiet driving around base.

I like the idea of the exhaust. I love the sound of mine when I get on it but when I am just driving around it really sucks. Can't even hardly talk to the person in the passenger seat.

The weather wasn' t helping you much. Keep thrashing, You'll get there.
I'm interested in how it progresses. My setup is similar, I've made some changes not in my sig. I hope to get to the track this week to try it out.
I'll update soon.

I will keep you posted. Let us know how you run. I am changing plugs and wires and putting in a new tune and I am going to get my converter restalled to a 4000 or 4500. Let me know how yours turns out.

how much MPH did it pick up? The weather was killing you.

A bigger stall would help with that cam. My cam is about the same size and my converter swap from the 3K to 3800 was huge.

I am not sure on the MPH it wasn't working at the track. They couldn't get it worked out so we just agreed to run without the MPH. I ran a guy who ran a 7.51 with a and I was pulling on him on the big end.
