I run a 140 with 1.7 rockers in my 72 nova 350 flat tops zero decked with 4.33 rear and fast burn heads.
11.60's @ 113.
Definitely needs good fuel. I add a couple gallons of 100 LL to a tank of 91.

Read that whatever way you want...
Jump in? I didn't ask about Lumpy sounding cam for the LT1. You jumped in with if someone wants a lumpy cam... so your post wasn't related to my initial post was it?

I appreciate all the other suggestions here guys Lynn I'm leaning towards the LT1 cam but was initially concerned about LT1 detonation as the 302's kind of missed that with the stock cam, right now my 302 with 3.31s and stock exhaust manifolds is a bit of a pig to get moving
