Well, after installing my cams, I had a painful 2-week wait until I could try her out at the track. My previous best just a few weeks earlier without the cams had been 13.228 @ 104.40. My first run of the night with the new cams got me 13.023 @ 106. After that I managed trap at 107 mph on a few runs. Ran a 13.022.

Finally, after probably 10-12 runs that evening, I hit my goal. When the evening was over it was the one and only time I ran a 12. It was a 12.999. LOL

She's got a lot more in her, though. My 60' was 0.15 off of my best. I mostly blame that on my differential which is only spinning the passenger tire on most of my burnouts. It was also a lot warmer and more humid at the track this weekend. I think I can take her into the 12.8s without too much trouble under the right conditions and with a working differential.

I've been using Nitto 555R's. I've never tried any other kind because I hear these are the best drag radials for treadlife. If the car wasn't my daily driver, I'd get something softer. I get about 6 months out of a pair.
