New track time... Should it be the time I should expect?

Mike, how much of your 4wd stuff have you removed? Still running t-bars? Stuff like that is heavy and really slows you down. And with the Hot cam, i'm sure his live tune is much better than your mail-order tune.

06blacksierra, I would make a goal of 1.8X for your 60', and go from there.

I understand that it's not even clsoe to a great time, just saying I also have the hotcam, I was on slicks, and have LT's over his shorties so we have a lot of the same parts....I realize I'm 400 rpm less with converter, but how is over he making over a second on mine in the 1/4? Just wondering waht's wrong with my setup that's all. My comment about the 60' times was for running 12's, a 1.8-1.9 is usually a 60' for a 12 sec run...I meant don't judge your 1/4 mile time solely on that though because I've watched 11 sec and lower cars turn almost 2 sec. 60' times, but pick up huge on topend.

I totally understand what you're saying. But those cars you speak of make a lot more power than a stock 5.3 with a cam. I'm guessing his truck makes, at the most 320rwhp with that cam. If those times are actually on motor, then that truck is just flat out making some power

It is on motor lol. Maybe mike is at a different elevation? My truck is no hot rod that's for sure. I'm just trying to get into the 12s. Would a 1.8 60' be obtainable with slicks?
