Looking for advice. What's keeping me from 10's

Here is my car at Brainard real fuzzy pic. 90 degrees 90% humidity.
Going to Rock Falls Raceway this Sunday should hit the 10's

Here's my cam, Comp Cams 10-602-5 265/276@.050 .600/.594 lift 108 lsa
I hit a 10.99 last fall at Rock Falls. Now last week I had an incident with my distributor gear and my cam gear. Got that fixed.
While I was waiting for a cam gear, I decided to go through the valve lash and write them all down cold.
I got to #4 exhaust , it was .086. I thought there goes my cam.
So I went through and take them down .004 more from what the dyno guy adjusted them to.
Then I used a digital caliper to check the one that was real loose and came up with .590 lift, I figure if it's going flat it'll be a lot more than .010 wear. I think it's been that way from the dyno tune.
It's real crisp now. So we'll see what happens next month.

Ah glad to see you got in the 10's. sorry for the late advice  just came back to this forum a couple days ago really nice car by the way.

Now that it hit the 10's, I'm going to do something different. I have my full exhaust on, 2.5" mandrel bent through Thrush mufflers and 3" tails, 295/50/15 BFG tires. I want to hit 11's in full street form.

Went to the track for the last time this year. Was so busy there I only got 3 runs in.
1 time trial then right to eliminations. 1st run 11.03. My second run I think would have been a 10 second pass but it was eliminations and I was against a Hellcat Challenger. I had him pretty good so I lifted towards the end and ran a 11.07. The Challenger went 11.20.
I got eliminated the next round. I was being an airhead and wasn't up on the throttle when I left and only ran 11.25. Better luck next year. That's OK now I'm back on my dual 360 project on my motorhome.
