cam in right, what to expect?

first off, im not smart i installed my cam using the retarded (2 degrees) section on my cloyes timing set. i got that fixed. im going back to the track on friday.
my mph was 105-106, and i gained 23mph in 4.7 seconds with my retarded cam.

what should i expect?

That's pretty much the same setup as me. A vert too Hows the stall? That's next on my list. Does it feel too loose? Meaning, do you feel you have to rev it to get it going?

VAN5150 i was thinkin i should have gained more than that???what do you think?

poorman the stall is barely noticeable with everyday driving, i still have to keep my foot on the brake at stoplights to keep it from rolling forward, but it makes launching with street tires impossible (see my sig) if i stomp it from 0-30mph it just spins like crazy until i let off, usually around 65mph because it fishtails so bad.....its insane, I NEED ET STREETSk, i really believe i can run mid 12's at 110 easy with traction.
btw my race weight is 3400 w/o driver.

what is yours like?

I assume you talking about after the 1/8 mark...right? You should pick up a couple of mph but your 60' is whats killing you.....get the 60' down to 2.0 and youll be 13.00
