4.56 will put you out the back door about 7100RPM's on 28" tall tires.That's shifting at 7000RPM's.That cam doesn't sound like it will make power that high,sounds more like a NO cam.What's the LSA & ICL?

That cam would be fine if the car were stricktly an 1/8 mile car. But in the 1/4 you will be hurting.

If you could change gears to at least a 4:10 or have room for a 30 inch tire it would help alot.

No prob, let us know how it runs. I just put that cam in my buddies LT1 (355 11.5:comp, six inch rods, home ported heads) its a 94 T/A that we have at 2930 (without driver) 3500 stall, and 3.73 rear gears (26 inch tall tire). We havent run it yet but we were wondering what kind of luck others have had with it, we are also planning a 200 shot of port wet nitrous.
