No sales gimmic here...
Wound up doing 450 at the wheels locked up. As for times, so far 11.38 @ 118.67 is the best in so-so air, with full interior. The car has way more in it though. It looks like the 3600 & 4400 converters were not enough. Mike from Yank has swapped my 4400 out for a UT4800. The new converter will go in this weekend. Also this combo does not like the 3.73 gears. I'm only turning 6300 through the traps. I need to be knocking on 6800 at the finish line. After I see how the new converter does I'll be installing a set of 4.11's and still running 26" tires.
At the Shootout I was only pulling 1.57 60' times dead hooking on 16" ET Streets. The converter and gears should drop that a good bit.
We'll see here in the next few weeks...

How high are you spinning the motor with this cam? That thing sounds freaking huge and not too street friendly.

I saw the car run at Thunder this weekend, its no bull ****. The car runs hard and it traps awesome. Steve isnt lying to you guys and Thunder isnt trying to rip people off. This was the first time I have ever met Steve, and hes a cool uy. His Trans Am was full inteior, a very very very very clean interior, lil to clean for 86K miles, But he had the TWO Factory Leather seats still in and a cage. It isnt a light car and this cam works very well, the car idles great. Sounds awesome too, it is failry large cam but it still seems very streetable from what I saw.

What's that car weigh? Just curious, I know you know Greenbean & he just went 11.41 120mph with a 20mph headwind at Darlington w/ interior, sound deadening, carpet etc. His car still has that ignition problem that's killing his trap speed though...

Congratulations on the run though .

Congratulations on the run. 11.3 with home-ported LT1 castings and stock sized valves. I would be looking for a little more mph out of the car...but I'm sure that will come with better air and working the bugs out. Very impressive numbers!

Wow congrats and awesome numbers. I can't believe your 10bolt is still holding up to launches like that. On a side not, care to do a set of heads for me??

Very nice times to say the least. BTW, are you interested in giving out some cam specs yet. I thought about changing my cam and was hoping to find out what yours is. Anyway, if you dont wanna post them up here, my email address is smknta95@hotmail.com

Yeah, when are the specs for this cam going to be told. Is Thunder going to stock it, or are they already stocking it.

Come on, let everyone in on the secret.

They're paid sponsors on this board, ********.
They're a well run business. If you've never dealt with them, you should.
