i guess my point in saying that was i'd find a cam that made power higher. but that's just me i guess. to each their own. 11.9 is a pretty good time on motor

But you don't want to make peak power/torque waaaay high in the rpm's. On his engine, he's likely making maximum torque closer to the 5,000 rpm range. Torque is the pulling force of the engine. Think about your type of driving versus engine rpm. How often do you plan on cruising around that high on the tach? H.p. and torque come in at different points, and an engine making max. power way high in the rpm range will have less power/torque in the lower rpm range. You can't have both, and his setup should make for a fairly good, streetable engine.

Cool

Camaro 69 is right no need going past 5800 cus i start to lose power jus because a car revs higher doesnt mean its going to make more power. My setup is made for low end torque and that is why i had a custom cam made for that reason. My car is a STREET car not a STRIP car.. Manily i use it for shows. But we dont know for a fact yet until i get a better fuel pump what i will be reving out at.And so we can perform a full dyno tune. To see what shes makin. NEW PICS WILL be up by next week along with youtube videos. i ran a 11.90 with my stock LT1 with procharger full exhaust suspension/Radials i should get into low 11.00 range possibly high 10s with the setup now. But im not going to even go to the track Till I get a BUILTT 9 Inch..
