My second one will be fired up tommorow also. The first cam I got from Joe was awesome and i had no intentions of changing but I had problems with my bottomend so he told me I could go bigger and make more power lets hope he's right . BTW my first cam 226-234@50 ran 1.69 60' spinning 11.66@117mph first trip to the track with that combo and could have gone 11.40's@118mph with traction with 3.42 gear and a 3550lb raceweight! but the bottoend gave up before I got to put it thru it's paces and get the suspension working right. This time should be better.

I do believe that I will definitely be faster if I can get it tuned right. If I can run in the 11.50-11.40 range I'll be very happy, and from what I heard from all of you guys that shouldn't be a problem. The car weights about 3400 with me in it so we'll just have to wait and see.

My car pulled good vacuum with my first cam and I haven't gotten a chance to run this one yet but may have it running today!
RJE I maybe trying my new setup out this weekend too if the weather holds out.

I had talked to Joe previously on several different occasions before I decided to get a cam through him, but once I had made my mind up to get a cam it was to my door in a week.
