niterider i noticed your running the 230/236 cam on stock heads, how did it effect your gas mileage, and would the stock lifters and pushrods hold up?

Obviously mileage got a little worse, but nothing that would make me complain, I am running 94-octane gas of course. As for lifters I’d say with a cam that has such a aggressive lobe pattern I’d change the lifters, pushrods I bought new stock hardened ones just because everything else in the valvtrain was being changed. This winter those stock heads are coming off.

I believe the owners manual actually says 92 is the recomended. All that is in AZ is 91 at the pump though. unless you want 100 or 106 :P

Neither of those cams would be a sleeper, even a 114 you can tell its cammed. If you want a sleeper, 116 or 117 lobe seperation would idle like stock.
Also, you won't be able to pull 1.3-1.5 60's. Maybe a 1.59 if your really lucky.
But a 11 second car is possible with an auto. With stock heads and a cam I ran 12.2's spinning slightly to 1.65-1.68 60's. With ported stock heads, you'll hit high 11's no problem.

I don't see 1.3s-1.5s being a problem on slicks with a stall converter and 3.73s pulling the kinda torque I want.

I have a 228/236 Bullet cam and have run the times in the sig.
MaddHatter, you must not do a whole lot of drag racing, because if you did you would know that there is no way you're going to see a 1.3-1.4 60ft in a heavyass camaro with only 3.73 gears and 350 cid no matter what cam you put in it. Now if you put some 4.11's, slicks, and about a 200 shot you may get in the 1.3's.
