Thanks man and I was tryin to hit them gears good haha. I would pick up a right good bit just off a cam and even more off a better intake. When I had my motor out the car I honestly didn't have the funds to do what I did but I made it work..... I wanted to do a cam so bad but just couldn't swing the extra $100 for a used comp cam that I wanted bad oh well the car runs strong for what it is and maybe in the next few months I'll cam it and later on this year or next spring turbo it..

Cams are failry easy to change in 5.0's, you don't need to pull the engine to get them out so you can always pick one up when you get the money and throw it in there

Anderson Ford can hook you up too... he talked to my buddy on the phone... asked some questions and sent a custom ground cam and told him what heads to mate it with, gears, etc.. car was running bottom 11s @ 121mph N/A 306 on slicks.

I'm sure other cam places do that stuff too...Anderson is just the only one I know about.

Good races! I am surprised how you hung with him up top during the 60 roll. I expected him to pull for sure but you were right there. Looks like your car is running good and thanks for some good videos!
