Default Re: 1967 Camaro Project

My advice would be to ditch the cam...you're not gonna get the feel of the old school L88 anyway if you lower the compression, so why turn the thing into a ill mannered pig if you don't have to? While the L88 cam wasn't known for it's low end, taking away the compression is gonna kill whatever mid and top end you had, and you're gonna have to live with a BIG lope and little or no vacuum...I would either go with the "143" cam, or even better call up the cam grinder of your choice, feed 'em your specs, and let 'em pick one out for ya...
