  • 13.61 cam only

    I broke the cam only record tonight...just figured I'd post over on this board to keep you guys up to date on whats going on "elsewhere" on the web.

    1.80 60 foot
    5.496 330
    8.60 1/8th (best of 8.58 tonight) at 79mph (best of 81 tonight)
    11.319 1000'
    13.619 1/4 at 96.21 (all runs were 13.6 tonight)

      Re: 13.61 cam only

      210/220 112lsa cam
      4.10 gears with eaton posi and 3500 tci converter
      boltons and tuning
      42.5lb injectors (for the supercharger swap) and 255 modified walbro

      27" MT et drag radials (not et streets) on 15x7.5 convo pros and prostars upfront.

      Had I been on 26" tires I would've run 13.5, but the 27" tires take away a little gear. I have them for the nitrous though.

      Raceweight was a little over 3400

          How is this cam only? Am I missing something because that doesn't look like it's only the cam. It looks like the rear isn't stock, the fuel injectors aren't the tires aren't, the TC sure as hell isn't. To me cam only means just that. Take all that stuff off and let's see that 13.6, then it'll be impressive.

            "Cam only" refers to the fact that the only modification done to the engine is a cam. Doesn't imply anything about boltons.

              If you run a cam without supporting mods for it you're an idiot.

              Like stated, cam only refers to engine modifications, and no one has gone faster than me now. The old record was set be Ben, RallyRed (from the "other site") at 13.64 followed by seppo with 13.65.

                :bs: Great response. I was looking for an explanation but an attack is justified. All I was getting at is that it seems kinda ridiculous that you can do all the bolt on upgrades you want and because the cam is the only engine mod it's called cam only. Never ceases to amaze me that when you ask a question on here you get some dumbass son of a ***** that always has a verbal attack waiting. Really quite impressive. I never once said anything about doing a cam with or without supporting mods I was simply questioning the term. :bs:

                  What, do you not agree with what I said?

                  Also, the term has been explained to you twice in this thread now.

                  The term wouldnt exist otherwise because no one would run it without supporting mods...if they did they would run 15s all day long due to KR from lack of tuning and lack of traction on stock tires.

                  I didnt just make up the term cam-only...it has been around for a long time. Just figured you guys on this site never race anymore, so I'd keep you updated on whats going on with the other site.

                    That's all I was looking for was an explanation of the term. I wasn't disputing that you need to do other mods to complimant the cam.

                    What we've got here is a little miscommunication. I got it now, you got it now. done.

                        Yes, injectors ARE technically an engine mod, but an accepted one for a cam-only car.

                            VERY cold, DA was about -1000. About 45 degrees outside with 25% humidity.

                            Only problem on the run was there was a 15-18mph headwind. No wind defintaley would have helped the run, but I'll take what I can get.
