cam/head change on the ls chevelle when i first built my engine, lq4, forged pistons/rods, 9.2 comp, i used the stock 317 heads and used z06 cam, and d1sc procharger, carb and msd 6010
for my 69 chevelle- i wanted to make sure everything worked ok, sort out any bugs before wasting any more money on it
after getting some minor bugs out, it was running great, so i decided to up grade it-i choose the patriot perf ported lq9 heads (to keep the comp. the same) and their cam, 225/229, 580/590, decent price for an upgrade
i did the swap last week, and was really pleased with how it runs, and it still pulls 15 lbs vacume, driveability is still great
need to tweak the carb a little, and off to the dyno to dial in the afr's a little better-i can blow the tires off through 1st and 2nd w/o a problem now, lol
