just by going based on what you said about the HP and Tq. ratings i SERIOUSLY hope you run quicker than those times, if not something is really wrong

I can't agree more. I went 13.90 and my car runs like s**t. You should be EASY mid to low 13s with no traction at close to 110!

Pending you have traction or not you have a 12 second vehicle. The power numbers shown are easy 12's its just a matter of suspension tuning and some fat meats on the back !!

Actually hold on....what cam grind?? do you have a stall converter..probably not...so I'll adjust that too a low 13.

230,,,212,,or vise verse @0.50..its a low comp engine 8.74:1,,so i didn,t want an off the shelf cam designed for a 10.1:1 comp ratio,,,this cam opens fast and closses fast....simm ilar to the comp cams XE 280 hyd profile,,but better,,its more modern design,,,buy cam tec custom profile,,,sounds weird ,,,but we checked it when installed ,,its spot on,,,what he recommended,,

I didn't make it to the track last fall and my setup is somewhat similar. I am hoping for mid to low 12's with traction. Let me know if you guys think this is possible. See my sig for details.
