What should I expect??

Some of you all know my set up, but the basics are in the sig.

I've done a few things to my car and am going to the track next Friday to test it out. Want to see what you all think it will run.

My previous passes on motor were all pretty weak at 12.0's@113/114 like a 1.8 60'. I was hooking good, but could have been a lot better. I had the front end WAY too low and was causing weight transfer problems. I got traction, but it bogged if you know what I mean. Other then that problem free, I believe I was getting valve float past 6000 rpms, so I had to shift at 6100-6200 rpms or so. (on a cam that shoulda pulled to 6900+)

**for what it's worth, there was a slight head wind(10-15mph) and about 80 degrees or so**

Since then I upgraded from the 576/600 lift 230s duration cam to a solid roller 61X 63X lift and like 245/255 duration.. on top of going from a 114 LS to a 108 LS. I also, of course, lifted the front end to a more sutable height. Then replaced the 3800 Stall with a 5000 stall convertor.

I may have pretty steap goals, but I'm really hoping that I can pull down very low 11's or hight 10's on motor. I figure if I could have fixed the suspension problems before and the valve float the car woulda ran 11.6's@116-117 or so(seem right?)

Dunno, I hate bench racing like this, but as some know, I have had a real nightmare of a time the last 2 years getting my car race ready and I'm just really excited to see what it's going to do.

Thanks,
Jason
