To tell you the truth, I bought the cam off of Ebay from a guy who used to race FE powered fords back in the sixties and seventies, the cam was a cam built by ford, way back in the day, i would suppose when he used to race, it was still new in the box, I had the cam card, but I think i accidently through it away, but i remember seeing something like .486 or .468 or something in that range, I know one thing, it has a lopy idle when set at the stock timing marks, so I advanced the timing a little to smooth it out

Practice launching the truck without all the wheel spin - you'd be suprised how much that affects the results.

When you launch, can you do it without spinning the tires?

data is fromwww.thirdgen.org
it appears he has a z28 or iroc camaro and the funny thing is the 1985 tpi had 215hp but was detuned for 1986. A cam change they say and the list the lift specs for 1986. A 25hp loss from a change ouch!!!!
