but it, or a similar cam would work well for you. Thunder550 is selling one that would work for you as well.

what gears are you running, shift points, etc...odds are with that cam you are probably shifting well before it reaches peak HP. if that is the case it is possible depending on your gears, shift points, TC shift extension, and the rpm where the cam makes peak HP, you could be falling measureably below peak torque after a shift which can kill your ET. but, then you are driving a EC 4WD which is a heavy SOB for racing purposes.

I'd say your LSA is way to high for the convertor you are running. Also with that cam i woudn't shift under 6600rpms.
If you want to keep that cam go larger stall. Otherwise get a cam with more mid range grunt instead of high end power.
You really need to lower your lsa alot 116 is overkill.IMO.
