318 with mild cam does sound low. Headers may pick you up a tenth or two

If you have the LG Longtubes, did you opt to not run the cats?? If so then you may be having issues with your O2 sims. Have them deleted by your installer/tuner with LS1 edit. My idle was a little off until we completed the tune. Did you install them yourself and not tune? How big is that cam? Big cammed autos can be a little fussy. Hopefully you got a good tune installed. Your tuning abilities will determine if your cam is going to be good, bad, or whatever. JMO
Good LUCK.

I know it sounds strange but he is telling the truth. Cars run very well here in Md, especially at a sea level track in perfect air. It really did surprise me thought that he did run those new bests if far from optimum conditions. I believe the barometer was like 29.7 and 70+ degrees.
