i would kill for a 1.5 in a ecsb. mid 1.7 range would make me happy. my 60' time is 1.88 no matter the weather, launch rpm etc...even with more weight in the truck i went 1.88

Really? So, if a cam changes your TQ output, then in other words your saying TQ has no influence on your 60'? That would mean a truck making 300 FTLBs could 60' the same as a a truck producing 100 FTLBs. Maybe you just meant it has less of an impact?

My truck is living proof that a cam kills low end. Check out my 60' in my sig. That is WITHOUT SPINNING.

your truck has some potential!! its all about get a good dead hook launch.... I thought you had ordered a converter just like mine??? 3200 on a 2.2str?? and I ordered one exactly like mine for a buddy and he is loving it too...

so you ran a 13.0 @ 105?? thats crazy...

why would you want a bigger cam if your 60' stayed the same?
isn't your goal to lower your 60'?

i was hoping to lower the 60'..

ap the 105.5 only happened once and i spun bad on that run. 1.96 20' on that i think.

it was running consistantly around 103 with more weight than usual but before the 105 run i put factory size wheels on the front.
