Folks looking at the ET are missing the point...118 mph is a nice start...ET is just a function of traction, MPH is the hp, so you're doing well...Like I said yesterday I was going 11.50s at that mph last year...A little suspension and a good tire and you'll have your ET...Even at full weight...I was 3650....

As for the heads, they were on the car when I bought it, and I'm starting to think they are pretty damn good. As for the cam, Bret said its between an LE1, and LE2, but I know a few people with LE2-3 cars and judging by their cam specs I think my cam is pretty close to an LE1 cam, but Bret can better answer this. And now for the timeslips. I'm #25 And my previous best with my old gm846 cam was 12.41@114mph so I gained 4mph with the new cam.

I have found the Mcleod ST, seasoned with a couple hundred street miles, to be fairly forgiving. It still grabs hard and wants to turn the tires over, but I'm still practicing to try to find that optimum release/rpm/track prep.

I agree, and it's funny because I went 12.5 at the same mph last year.

So I basically have to dump it which kills my 60'. Then the rest of the day the track wasn't hooking nearly as good as it was at the beginning, I kept cutting 2.00 60's. If my clutch ever goes out on me I'm probably going to be putting in a twin disk...

If that's all you're concerned about, I'll be glad to help you out by deleting the offensive language from your last two posts, reopening the thread, and merging it with this one. Always glad to help perpetuate a good discussion.

If you want to delete the page and a half of worthless bs of us arguing that throws the thread completly off topic go ahead.
