If you do go with Lloyd, tell him what you have so far and let him help you out. He is very helpfull and will lead you in the right direction, no doubt in my mind.

take your heads off and send them to someone who can get the potential out of them, thats where your power lies... then take that cam out and put in something with a bit more duration for that lift, a custom cam is the way, advanced induction or LE can help you with both those areas, then you will be flying 11's

Even though you don't like the response from 96capricemgr, he's pretty much spot on.

The problem can't be fixed till you can see it is MUCH bigger than a crossed pair of plug wires or something.

Far as who asked me, you posted on a public forum I am an active and member on so why would I not reply??
You are far from the first to be offended by my input most here will say the details in my sig suggest I might know a thing or two. A handful of guys who I have told things just like I have told you have come to really respect my input and now PM me before even posting on forum even when their initial response was exactly the same as yours.

Sometimes the best thing you can do is step back and take a long hard look at things.

Lingenfelter put a 211/219 cam in some of their strokers and guys ran 11s and 12s with them, others are using mid 220s cams in strokers and running 11s one is even chasing 10s. Yes the cam you choose was a little small but to blame it the way some of these guys want to wont help you, the problem is bigger than the cam.
Hey Dwayne... read my post before. I basically pointed out the same issues, but said them in a nicer way. I'll give you one thing... you nail it but sometimes you come across a little coarse. At any rate, the guy needs to listen to what is being posted. Your cam isn't ideal, the rockers need to be moved up to 1.6s, you DO NOT need race gas, and you gotta listen to those who have made power out of cars like yours for a few years now.
