Default boy am i excited!!!

just got my tr 224 with the 918's and i cant wait to get them in, just waiting on my new converter to come in and i will be flying down the high way, quick question for those who wave used this cam (tr 224 114lsa) do you guys think the 3200 pi stall will be enough? has anybody ever used this cam and stall rating with 3.42's cause the way i see it i will be crossing the traps at about 99 to 101 mph with plenty of 2nd gear left,

yeah he has 3.73's and everyonr is telling me to upgrade but i want to try out those 3.42's first and see if there is a difference in times and mph, only thing i know is that this thing it going to pull very hard in the topendwith those high shift points,
1st to 2nd 6600 i am thinking at about 58 to 60mph
2nd to 3rd 6600 and i am guessing 106 to 109 mph but we will see!!

depending on how well you hook and how tall of a tire you'll be running, you might cross at the bottom of third, not good. i shift to third before the 1/8 and cross the traps around 6k. that's w/ 4.10's and 26" tall et streets.

That stall should be enough but it will benefit more with lower gears 3.90's or 4.10's.
