I don't believe so...the first run was at Englishtown Raceway Park in Old Bridge Township, NJ, and the faster run was at Island Dragway in New Jersey...the weather was better for the quicker run, but I believe that the elevations are similar...

well i gotta disagree!
Maybe its cuz i got a 2wd with no big tires,but i got great gains with the 212/218
I could feel the torque come on with the stock stall i could flat foot it and it hook on the street then at 2500 start spinning all the way till the shift point

Cam and retuned i gained 5mph at the track
yank tt3000 maybe 1 mph gain but 1 full second gained at track because of 60ft capability
Honestly why put a 220 cam when a 212/218 can perform just as good and have better street characteristics
