I was really concerned to go to the track and not have my expectations met with this combo and was really starting to regret not having done a custom cam I was hoping for a trap of 115 and 11.90 et but after just two runs my expectations were exceeded so no changes necessary but I'm sure the combo could be improved upon and tweaked..but I'm happy with the way it is and I believe there is a compxe292.....or at least there used to be and it was close to the trick flow stage 3 in lift spec but the duration was out of this world and I didn't want a super lumpy cam and the 282 is just right for me

Congrats on making the 11 second pass. I missed that one.Swapping to a sticker tire might help a little more, the track sure seemed slick yesterday.Around 11 I was running my dads car and it hooked so hard the rear control arm bracket bent and jammed the rr tire into the front of the quarter panel. It scared the crap out of me because it sounded like the axle broke.

I also went ahead and fixed my car yesterday afternoon. I drove it today to my shop with open headers. Next time I should be out there racing my car with you and bernie.

If it'll run consistant 11's I don't see a need to tear into it to start changing crap just to find a couple of tenths.

no worry...she's not coming apart for such swaps..I'm happy with the way it performed..like I said my expectations were exceeded......I couldn't be more content...as I still have the NOS..haven't cracked the bottle open on it yet and if I do...gauranteed I'll get 1 run and they'll say slow it down cause I have no cage in the car

mjr46

oh don't be so sure it won't be as fast....actually I'm not quite sure how mine did so well....guess the combo is good

mjr46

I feel the same way..as you can see I took your advice and quit being a pus!!!

thats good, *typically* they dont break for no reason regardless if there is 1 mile or 1000 miles. I build my own junk and let it fly, yes its much easier if I blow my stuff up as I just remachine on my time, but seriously a ton of motors go from stand to engine dyno and there is nothing harder on an engine than an engine dyno loaded.
