Re: L78 motor cam opinion's
We have a stock L78 with headers and it works fine on 91-94 octane gas. The 4 speed and 4.10 gears also keep it from lugging down and pinging. The L78 cam is nice for the street, is gentle on the valve train, yet makes decent power

Re: L78 motor cam opinion's
Watch out for cams not made in the US, I know a few friends that have had to replace cams in new motors lately from a faulty cam made over seas. Seems the cams were eaten beacuse of softer metal than needed to be used with the hipo springs and high lift, but they were told with roller lifters that problem would go away.
