Default TOW RIG gets a new best!

Well used it to pull the car to the track and ended up getting kicked off so we decided to unhitch the truck and try it out in the good weather. 137ft DA was favorable. Well new best

60- 2.21
1/4- 13.92
mph- 98.02

Still on 20's baby!

That is awesome for the mods you have. I was thinking about getting a cam somewhere in the region of yours. How is the low end torque. Did you ever run it with no tuning. How is everyday driveability of this cam. What are the exact specs of it again. Need to know more about it.

Honestly I would go with smaller cam for the truck. i have to shift around 6400rpm and have lost a little from idle to 2000rpm. Everything after 4000rpm feels tons better though.

All mods and car times are in my sig.

What's the lift and LSA on that cam?

Awesome times, by the way. Must feel dog slow after getting out of the car.

I know that gas miledge and performance don't go well together but far as driving it every day and driving it fairly calm what gas miledge are you getting.

like .55x lift and 114lsa. If I take it easy on the gas it gets 20mpg running 70mph and aveages 16mpg. Gets 12.5 mpg on the highway towing the hot rod.
