I had my cam specs checked to see if it had over lap and was told I was good to go.
Right now I am running 7-8 psi.

My 1/4 wouldn't be comparable to yours anyways. Depends on the truck . scsb, ecsb, qcsb, 2 or 4wd. all make a difference.

Without the cam I ran a 13.7 . Sea level take a sec. off that easy.

Its enough to beatup on the vette guys up here though

With traction I would guess low 12's ~high11's with a reg cab 2wd, to high 12's with a crew cab 4x4.
