Default Good day/ Bad day

well went to the track today and like it says it was a good and a bad day. I put a new cam in the car a few weeks ago I cant say enough about it and its all good. it picked my car up from 1.73 best 60ft before to a a 1.66 today and the MPH went from 105 in the 1/8 to 109. well the first pass at 15psi of boost was a 10.73 with a total timing of 15 degrees and that was with full exhaust before I ran a open down pipe. 2nd run I pulled the the hose on the waste gate I don't know how much boost I made I was looking at the wide band then I felt it nose over to late I looked at the wide band it said 11.4-11.0 not real lean but not pig rich still again at 15 degrees of timing. the car was on a pass I could tell it was moving all over the track and was really MPHing well I ran a 10.37 and didn't even get to run it all the way out it kicked a head gasket and blew off a muffler at the same time so it killed the MPH but it was still 125 I know it was on a 138 or 140 run I mean it was flying so I got a new best 10.37 that's the good and the bad is it kick a head gasket at the least. The old cam ran a best of 10.73 at 134.8 with more timing so I think there is a 9 pass in it when the tune gets worked out and with a trans brake I know it will go in the 9s. Not to bad for a street car getting 13+mpg right now.
