Default 0-60 comparisons on stock cam v/s Sidewinder results

So as you know I put my Sidewinder in last weekend and HERE is the thread on it.

Before I did my Sidewinder I did some 0-60 runs with my SC3865 and my current mod list.

My best time with the stock cam was..........

0-40 - 3.94
0-50 - 5.57
0-60 - 7.71
0-70 - 10.37

I did one run today with my Sidewinder and although my tires spun just a bit, here are the results..........

0-40 - 4.02
0-50 - 5.39
0-60 - 7.36
0-70 - 9.59

So there you have it. If I could get the tires to hook off the jump Im sure I could get better times. Keep in mind for me that Ive got big 24s wth 36" tires, a fully loaded toolbox, foxbox and subs/amp, two batteries and that big Warn grill/winch setup on the front.

But overall, Im impressed.

Nice improvement over stock. I am curious to see how it does when you get those LT's installed.

those are some pretty solid gains... too bad you cant get it to hook up...
the numbers look pretty good for all the extra weight you got. still faster than mine!
weed- you never answerd my question in your other post... did you replace the timing chain when you did the cam?

Sry, no I did not. Ive only got 67k on my engine. I was going to replace a lot of things since I was in there like rad hoses and the belt, but everything looked so good I didnt bother.

And wouldnt you know it, I took my 2gb card out of my cam and transfered everything to my desktop last night. I went outside and took some startup and 360* sound clips and now I cant find my cam anywhere.

Well I found my cam last night but the sound recordings on it suck so bad I deleted the vid. I will have to find something else to record on.
