L88 cam in L78?

Sam, I remember those cars running mid 11's with headers and a pair of 9' slicks back in the 70's. I don't feel that any porting or anything of that nature hurts originality. All parts and numbers will still be correct. If you can find an NOS camshaft of the 375hp variety than I would use it. They are better than todays GM stock ground cams. They just where! Too much cam with little else wouldn't make it run any better. It is the combo that you need. Kim is correct about the stock specs of their B/S Nova, the lift has to be the same BUT..... ask him about the duration. Also the Schubeck lifters help. If you build your camaro to basically stock 1970 specs with a little clean up of the distributor add a set of headers and traction bars with 9" tires ,some good gas, at least a 4:10 rear that car will probably run 11.80's with practice. That to me would really be considered stock.Remember, No matter what these guys tell you here, small tires and the smog equipment was off the car before the first tank of gas was empty. No body kept that stuff on! Good luck! I would think by basically using Rob's set up and adding headers and slicks you would be right there. Good luck! Sam [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/[/img]
