HP is always going to be different with different dynos....so i will just say my track times

remember i am also at 5800' elevation so times are a lil slower than sea level

stock cams.....12.5 @ 112 mph
Comp Cams......11.8 @ 120 mph and the sound is badd ass

if you have a good tune and and good tire you could go 12's the way you are now. i think jayc ran 12.8 with just bolt ons..a few others have done it too

thanks for the replies. but the auto is killing me. im gonna do cams either way cause i love the sound of em idling.

your auto should be helping you.. with a stall/tune/gears autos rape. I hate autos and strongly consider them to be highly homosexual, but I still know that an auto is an advantage in drag racing, not a hindrance.

With cams/full bolt-ons you should see 12s EASY and be at 300 peak hp~ with stage 2s and around 290 peak~ with stage 1s(with a WAY better curve than stage 2s with stock heads).

thanks hoss, im thinking cms stage ones, or high tech stage 2's (their site says i can use stock springs just as long as i keep it under 6500) the only reason ive got an auto is because all of the manual's at the time were $4000 more and had the same mileage. gonna swap to a manual when the auto quits.
but u guys with cams keep em coming, any help is greatyl appreciated.

Guys i know that have went to NSR cams have been disapointed with sound

Do you plan on changing springs or doing head work?
