LE2 383 goes 12.18 @ 117.3 2.05 60'
Still cant get it to hook up on BFG's, time for some ET streets
. This is still on the stock 10-bolt by the way w/ 3.42's. Cant wait to go 11's when i get a 12-bolt. The funny part is, this cam was designed for the 350 that was in the car b4, not bad for a cam smaller than a CC306.

This wasnt a freak pass either, it also went 12.22 @ 117, 12.25 @ 116.9, and 12.34 @ 116. I wonder what i could do with a dyno tune and some 4.11's.

Not bad, reminds me of my 383 Hotcam a4 10 bolt 383 doing 12.084 at 113.00. Thats a nice mph, you need to get the 60 foot down, but with a 6 speed, tis going to be tricky.

Very good MPH with that mild cam.
as almost anyone that frequents the track will tell you, get that 60 ft down and the car will FLY. Most agree that .10 in the 60 ft is worth .15 in the 1/4 mile. Knock 4 tenths off the 60 ft and you will knock off 6 tenths off of the 1/4 mile ET. If you are having to lift or pedal the car for traction now, there might be even more to gain by launching and being able to keep the car nailed.
Get a 12 bolt and some sticky tires and then launch the car at 4500 RPM (or higher if the tires can handle it) and keep the car nailed the entire pass and you should be able to get a 1.65 60 ft and knock off about 6 tenths from the 1/4 mile ET.
11.70's is more than doable with a good 60 ft.

Great run for a 2.05 60ft. My Impala ran the same ET of 12.18 on LE2 heads and a Comp 503 on a 355ci but had a 1.66 60ft to get there. My MPH was less 111.52. Had two back runs of 12.21 and 12.23. Cant wait to install the LE cam and hope to get into the 11's N/A at 4400lbs.

Great mph! FWIW I run 118 and with my good 60's I'm 11.50s...I would expect similar results from you once you get your 60's down....6 tenths is very doable.
