new cam new times not sure what I expected

[custom 68]

hello all, first a bit of history; my trucks a 68 SWB Chevy I installed a stock 5.3 and a TB converter with a Nelson tune Last year I ran a
2.19 60 ft
9.39 at 75 MPH 1/8th
12.28 at 83 MPH 1000 ft
14.62 at 90 MPH 1/4
I installed a LPE GT2-5 cam a 221/221/561/561 -112 and springs
I got sticker tires (Toyo Proxes) where I had 10 year old tires before and a posi. I also canged exhaust from 2.25 duels with old turbo mufflers to 2.5 with spintec mufflers and a cross over pipe
and of course a retune.
my new numbers are
2.08 60 ft
8.99 at 79 MPH 1/8th
11.72 at 87.9 MPH 1000 ft
13.95 at 94 MPH 1/4
I was hoping for better? Was I expecting too much or do these numbers look about right? looking at the numbers side by side they look better there doesn not seem to be much I can do with this setup.
The temp was about the same on both and the times last night were in about 68 degree weather and low humidity seemed about perfect.
any thoughts or help would be great...

I'd say that's really really good for a mild 5.3 combo N/A. What gears do you have?

[custom 68]

Thanks I guess I always want more....
the gears are 3.73

Those numbers look about right from all the others I've seen with similar setups.

looks like good numbers to me as well.

What does your truck weigh?

[banker099]

you dropped over half a second in the 1/4...thats not bad for just swapping cams (pretty much), get gears and you will be much happier!!

[custom 68]

I drive the truck quite a bit so I will probably stay with the gears for now anyway. I am not sure of the weight but I think around 3900 is typical for these trucks.
Thanks for the confirmations I guess I was just hoping for more. Maybe time to step up to nitrous. I will have to save up for that. I am sure that would help
Thanks

I would get the actual weight of the truck. If it is 3900lbs with you in it these times are a bit off in my opinion. If it is closer to 4300-4400 race wieght these are about right on.

I agree with HIC. Those are good times, but if you get your 60 down a little more you should definately hit a better time. Arent most of the body pieces on your 68 steel? I would assume your truck is fairly heavy
