> you piss me off, answer me this one sir engineer. i know of a trex on a 150 dry shot thats best is only 12.2 @ 116 and why some 224 cam cars going mid 11s?
> 
> actually dont answer but think about it for awhile, Trex is a good cam but its a race spec’d cam for stock motor. im willing to put laura’s TA up against a certain black Z with a Trex and show you where some Trex’s stand

> now Trex in the rigth setup does work well, key word right. now swifts car should be good when all done but at FLD hell get spanked off the line cause no way he is hooking with a 6k launch. now if they rolled it be different

> heres one for you with youre theroy i know of a MS3 car that laid down 350rwhp with a TSP tune and a 224 that laid down 390 with a vette doctors tune. the 224 went 11.8 the MS3 car best went 12.2

i dont have an ls1… i’m not tryin to support the Trex cam above all others or anything like that. i can care less…i’m just tellin you how i see it from all the posts i read on ls1tech and other forums

you arguement is based off of tunes… if a trex car is doing mid 12’s at 116 with a shot then i hope he’s at 8000 feet cuz thats pretty shitty times.

to counterpoint your arguement, i know of a bolt on Z28 with a magic stick 239/242 or w/e it is with a 150 shot that put down over 400 n/a and near 600 on the juice at the wheels. traps around 130. you’ve probly seen it…its Termin8r’s car. from need2speed forums and racing southwest. . i have alot of his vids. teh car is fast as shit, at least 10’s at 130thats average for a ls1 on the spray and a GOOD TUNE. i seen so many like this

you cant compare a bad tuned Trex cam to a 224 cam thats well tuned. any dumbass can put in a trex cam and get waxed by bolt on cars since the tune is way off. thats not the way to compare cams.

and dyno numbers can vary from place to place dyno to dyno… mustang dyno to dyno jet…etc etc…weather. only real way to tell is to get both cams tested on the same dyno in the same motor

thats all i’m saying :bigthumb:

and i definately agree, from a dig on the street that has no prep, a trex stick car will not beable to launch all that well. stalled auto cars with smaller cam have the advantage there. but i’m talkin about tracks racing tho. trex cars are moving out man

but thats not to say trex is best. any cam ls1 is a stout car! thats why i want one:bigthumb:
