Default Re: 2001 Pure Stock Drags

Hi Stan, You seem like the person that would know. Is there any old articles on tuning either a L88 or the ZL-1 through stock exhaust manifolds? The only real test I read was the original ZL-1 test on the Blue car that Dick Harrell and Fred Gibb fooled with, in the Super Stock & Drag Illustrated mag. In it, prior to the first run they adjusted the valves at .032. The car had headers and better exhaust which does'nt do me much good.
Since these cars were meant to have headers, I would think the articles would be non-existant!
Are you saying that the second design L-88 and the ZL-1 had the same cam? I thought the ZL-1 cam was a hair wilder, all in lift.
Peter
