Mark, if you read my posts to this thread carefully you will find that I already asked others about the size of my cam and mentioned that I do not have a true way of comparing ET's with the 224/224:
I will say again, with the same converter and turbo that I went 11.7x @116.xx (on blue tops, with only 22# of boost, 100 octane, street tires, did not lock the converter, bad 2-3 flair in the trans) I cannot detect any loss of low end and there are no streetability issues at all.
MY ET??? - I hope to get my ET down to low 11's and to cross the 120 mark - full weight/full accessory car with closed exhaust, street tires, and street legal 100 octane.
Q. What prompted the change to my engine? A. I wiped the cam that was in the car so I needed another one. The car is buzzing thru the traps so it did not seem as if a bigger cam would hurt, The O2's were dropping to the high 600's with the blue tops so in with the 50's - that's all there was to those choices.
I do not have a bar in the car, and I am not planning on putting one in so I was just attempting to make the best of the current situation. So, does anybody think I hurt things with the 224/224 as far as power/ET goes? The power and ET thing is all I'm really concerned with because I know there are no driveability issues. As far as the low end, the car goes to full boost and breaks the tires loose about as fast as I can slam the throttle down - but since the last two MAF's died on me on the first pass on my last two trips to the track I have no real idea how I'm doing.
