Yeah....I'd say a cam that can play well enough with the stock converter to cut a decent 60' might only be worth 2-3 tenths over the stock cam. That wouldn't surprise me one bit. |

vs aftermarket cammed L99 with bolt on's, aftermarket converter (no heads, no intake, etc) Just the cam being the only difference.

this is from Rhino's build

looks like he went 12.2 with slicks stock cam and a 3200 verter.... down to a 11.39 with the cam and yes a ported TB and stock Manifold but the gains are minimal from that. So even adding 1/2 a second onto his time to compensate for the differences... that shows what a proper cam can do with stock heads

he picked up .8 with ported throttle body, ported intake, Track friendly wheels and a cam.
But yes stock heads. Id say .3 of that was the throttle body, intake and wheels (not sure what track friendly wheels means in this, could be lighter wheels, skinnies up front etc) so I would say .3-.5 from the cam the rest from the other. I'd be happy with that.

Well not that it helps any now, but I will be doing this exact experiment next spring. I am full bolt ons with an aftermarket converter already. I have a couple more mods that I'm doing this year, (gears and PI), so then I will have my absolute fastest (bolt on only) time for my car. Next year I will add JUST the cam to my current set up and I AM expecting another .5 faster. Only time will tell.
This year however my goals are different. Just wanna max out my bolt on only w/stock cam set up. |

Sounds good!
My plan is to stall the car with a trans cooler then tune this fall. Over winter I want to do a VVT cam with just replacing the AFM lifters. then see where things are.

I have ran 11.62 @ 117.90 with a 3200 Yank converter and bolt-ons only and will be installing a VVT cam shortly and I expect to run .5 to .6 tenth's faster in good air in the fall!
