Default Cam Swap Results

Last year I installed a stock LQ4 into my 79 Malibu. I carbed it, added headers, and she ran good posting repeated 11.80's - 11.90's. Over the winter I swapped cams, going with a custom grind from Ultradyne. Duration in the 230's with 601 lift 108LSA. Used Brian Tooley lifters and springs. I also swapped out my stock 317 heads for a set of stock 799 heads to boost my compression up to about 10.25. Ran it last night and got 11.32 @ 116mph. Set timing at 30 total all the way through the rpm range. Still got some tweaking to do....but very happy with the first outing!

Would also like to thank this site for all the great info and knowledge!
