Between the L72 and L78 cars that I have had, I have driven a lot of miles with never a cam related problem. With headers and tuning an L72 Chevelle can run well into the 12s and do it for a long, long time. It is docile enough to drive in stop and go city driving or you can wail down the strip. About all you need is better valve springs, especially if you are going over 6K rpm.
