Thumbs up Finally did it 11's N/A!

First I have to give Thanks to Lloyd Elloit for the awesome work he did on my LT1 heads, and then Joe Overton for hooking up my computer program. I finally made it back to the track for the first time about 3mos(since I blew a headgasket).
Well the LT1 is firing on all 8 to say the least. My car is still 3550lbs with me in it and 3.42 gears with a TH350trans and a loose 4k converter. Here are what my slips from tonite looked like.
1st Pass
1.66 60 leaving easy
7.51 1/8th
11.72@116mph dude I was pumped for first pass.
2nd Pass
1.66 60' spinning a little
7.47 1/8th
11.68@116mph
3rd Pass
1.69 60' spun
7.45 1/8th
11.66@117mph
4th Pass decided to try n20 just a little!
1.58 60' spinning a BIT.
7.05 1/8th let off n2o before the 1/8th
11.20@119mph
I am stoked my car ran these kind of #'s first time out, a converter a little too lose and in need of some fine tuning. I am sure with some work on my 60' it will run 11.50's or better and 10.60-80's on the gas. Later Clint

Very nice times. Is that Joe Overton cam for a NA motor, or is it more for the spray? I know better than to ask for the cam specs, but could you tell me what Joe charges for a cam?
I have a set of LE heads sitting in the closet and am undecided on who I should have help me pick a cam.
Thanks

Thanks guys.
Z rated the cam i have is more for N/A but any cam works well on N2o. The specs are 226-234@50 and 575 lift on both or so i was told 110 l/s. He cahrges $375 for a cam.
Steve I have the 3.42's b/c I expect to trap close to 130mph on a 200shot later this year. That would be hard to do with a 3.73 and 26" TIRES. Now if i had a better rear then I would put some more gear and go with 27-28"tires. I am currently running Et streets. Later Clint

Clint,
Thanks for the info, it does help my choice in cams. I'm looking at one that will be one step smaller if that makes any sense.

Thanks again guys. Joe Overtons website is http://hometown.aol.com/one94ta2try/...age/index.html and he charges $375+ for camshafts. I made a mistake on the first post but it's fixed now. The bottom end is stock crank polished, pink rods with ARP bolts and Weisco pistons .030 over nothing speacial. Later Clint
