Re: Fastest Cam Only LT1?

I run 3.73 gears and 27x11.5x15 QTP's. I do not expect for my combo to be a magic formula. But I do get a lot of PM's from people that have had sucess with my combo. When I was running 11.60's there was a guy from the New Orleans area that ran 11.80's with the setup that I run. I am fortunate enough to run at a sealevel track but only try to run fast a couple of times a year.(I like to bracket race) Good Luck Frank95z

Re: Fastest Cam Only LT1?

I believe frank is the man to beat as already said. If you are talking full weight/ 6speed, then

Frank, what are you 1/8 times and mph? Your car is freaking hauling a$$, I'm amazed.

Re: Fastest Cam Only LT1?

Race weight always includes the driver, so yes that's with him in it. I need to put my TA on Frank's race diet, LOL.

I guess that was too obvious for me!

What kind of diet did you put your car on, Frank?
