isky cam expectations

i thought i had this cam in but when i posted a race at the track everyone said my car was slow for the mods in the sig. little did i know there was a good reason for that. the cam i thought was in the car had been taken out while iw as gone and my carwas at the shop and was sitting in my garage. I found the cam and the specs and the old isky box with the part number:lt1 271265, i looked it up on there site and it has the specs of:valve lift int. ex. .530 .550 valve lash hot int. ex. .000 .000 adv duration int. ex. 265° 275° .050 duration int. ex. 220° 230° lobe center 113°
i have no idea what this means, could you guys help me out here, and maybe put me in the ball park range of whp when i get this back in and the mods in the sig. thanks guys

Re: isky cam expectations

That's a mild cam and I don't see supporing mods like cold air, headers and exhaust. The stall is also very mild. My guess it'll run low to mid 13s.

Id rather blow up at the track than blow up on some back industrial street with the cops chasing me. I cant see how you feel safer about racing it on the street than you do the track. If it's gonna go it's gonna go Id think.

Re: isky cam expectations

So you parked your car in the garage and left it there. While you were gone someone came in, took out your cam, put it in a box, and put your stock cam back in. When you came back to your garage you had no idea anything had happened until you found the Isky cam in the box.

Re: isky cam expectations

when the car was in the shop he told them to take the cam out and didnt tell me, but he kept the old cam in the isky box in the garage and told me it was the stock cam.
