My cam is the above and
IO 23 IC 53 EO 65 EC 19 lash .024-I and .026-E

At 3,420 lbs and a very tight N20 converter it's running 10.50's in street trim on pump gas, leaving the line at 2,000 rpm foot braking. On a 350 shot, it's now running low 9's @ 145 or so, through the mufflers. On a decent track, hopefully a high 8 will happen this year.

The current cam was selected for me by Harold Brookshire while he was at Lunati. But...at the time it was very limited N20, now it's a 350 shot, single stage plate hitting it all off the line.

I will be changing heads this winter to a much better AFR head. At that same time I may bump the comp to around 11.2:1 (must stay on pump gas for driving to work) or so and then....maybe change the cam????

Thank You so much for you time!

For where you WERE and for what you WERE doing, in typical hb fashion, it ran ok. A bit more attention could have been paid in a couple areas, but overall, not too bad. But with MORE NOS, more head (isn't that a good thing?), and more compression, the cam you have will get'cha running but there is way more left in her!

Good Luck.

Well - we will likely take care of that this winter. I just wanted your opinion on if there was some room to improve. I want to change / upgrade it all over the winter, my new heads will not be ready until the end of the summer, so we'll be in touch - THANKS!
