Graydon, the 0-60 of 8.0 sec is what C&D got from a bone stock 5000tq....
 You might try putting the cam back to see what a difference that makes, esp
if you are dropping at 5krpm.....   Sounds very reasonable to me.....  The
Vericom is pretty accurate unto itself, in other words, if you use the
vericom as a constant when changing perameters, you will get a very accurate
measure of what the change did......  To say it's accurate to a timing light,
hmmmm, hard to believe all those toys in that box are that accurate.....
 Take it to your local track during the week, those times are dead nuts
on.....  I will say, however that my  vericom is within a couple of tenths
close on my car......   NJTH
