I'm wanting to try and hit 12s in my truck before I stop modding it.

To achieve this I am going to go with a bigger cam, possibly 224 or 226 range.
Stock 862 heads
Changing to 28" slicks


Recently I ran a 8.5 in the 1/8th in mid 70s weather on street tires. On the conversion charts it shows roughly a 13.2 in the 1/4

The only thing I am worried about is that my mph was only 80.5 when i ran that 8.5, with a 1.95 60ft.

So do you guys think it is possible, that with the bigger cam and 28" slicks that I could hit 12.99 or better?

 

Yep, and I got a pair of slicks you can borrow... Just let your ***** drop and go buy a new cam....

 

I just dont think my mph is high enough to keep speed in the long end of the track to run 12s yet.

 

it is probably because you cam you have now does not have the power up top like a 226 does... so IMO if you swap (and don't be a ***** and get a 114, get the 112 this time) you will have more power up top, which IMO will help your MPH problem...

I kinda wanna try that cam out. It's super cheap

 

Words to live by check my sig

 

in my opinion i think dannys truck pull harder up top than my truck does.

 

Freaking sweet!

 

i think you need more more trap speed

 

Thats what I'm thinking, but thats what the bigger cam is for
