Two weeks ago I decided to finally figure out what the old dsm will do. best was a 11.9 at 122 witha 1.8 60' foot. I did have 1.7 60' foots on slower passes but traction was my issue. Lastnight I did some test launches and the car butt hopped, spinning to the left and ripped through first after leaving a nice 10 foot burn out. It was crazy! :D

So this afternoon I added fp2 cams, just bleeding these lifters and taking a break.

I noticed I was breaking up up top while coming into boost and I was told it's possible to blow out spark with ngk 8's gapped at .28 on e85. I am going to put in 7s at .26 gap and see if it changes. Logged the car and injector duty and a/f is good so it is spark for sure.

Looking to go 11.4 or faster if the tires will hook. I am not sure how much 2 more degrees of timing and fp2s are gonna do, but tomorrow I will have results.

Coming from the stock cams, it should be a pretty nice difference. Whether you meet your goal at the track is up to the driver:D Looks like you have enough car for it, just may need some track driving practice!
 
I picked them up for 200 bucks with litterally engine break in miles on them. I have heard " pulls like a train up top now" I am intrested to see if it was worth it. As long as I still hit 30psi under 4k I won't be dissapointed. I will be only reving to 7100-7300 rpms. Nothing crazy.

And I can drive decent, its tires spinning to 3rd year that hurt me. But I am very scared about hooking and snap xcases or axles so I guess I have to deal with it.
