Unfortunately the 14.21 with the streetfighter cam was done with street 225's and 3.45 lsd.
Whereas the 14.17 was done with a dev5 cam, 3.9 lsd and M/T slicks
So they can't really be compared.

I'm starting to think when I had the cam changed I had a bad tank of fuel and the same tank was used at the drag strip as the car had less power in 4th gear (165rwkw with the streetfighter cam and 160rwkw with the dev5 cam).
If fuel wasn't so expensive at the moment I would take it down the 1/4 again.

It's a better ratio for the drag strip as I cross the line at around 5000rpm in 4th as opposed to 4000rpm. IMO if its only for the street its probably a bit excessive.
