How does changing the rear control arms help with launching and et's?

I I bump the FP up about 10 lbs with larger injectors? There goes my gas mileage...hahaha.

Not 100% sure if you did this or not but if you bumped the fuel pressure up with the larger injectors that's most likely why the car feels slower, it's running pig rich, if anything bump the fuel pressure down to 32-35 psi to keep it running about the same as with the 24's.

Oh no not an alphabet cam....

i would recommend going with a custom grind
the difference in the price of a custom grind and off the shelf is not that much considering how much you have invested in the car....

But if you want an off the shelf this is what I'd recommend for you....

I have no problem going custom, I've just never done it before. I'm assuming I just call up Comp Cams and tell them my set up and the grind something for me???
