Yes, 'cam only' means the only internal mod I have is the cam. I have headers and CAI also, but my heads, intake manifold are stock and unproved.

What are you revving to? Before my head and cam job I was at the rev limiter right at 99-100mph in 3rd.
I understand your argument between ss/1le, but both cars well have to shift before they get to the finish line, so shift time loss is a given for both cars. And the guy I told you about that did 11's was an ls3(manual), so the automatic argument is invalid.
I'm sure you're biggest killer is tires and rear suspension - and of course shift technique. My biggest killer is the 1-2 shift. 2-3 is spot on so long as I get it right in, but 2nd, with its extra syncro, is very reluctant to slide in(before my trans fluid change to amsoil, anyway).
I've never missed a 3-4 shift, though, and it's so quick, I doubt an auto could do it much faster.
