I know this is an old post but many read this info. for advice in parts selection. I'm no expert, but the flow/dyno numbers I've seen for most SBC heads indicate a need for a split pattern cam with a little more lift & duration to make up for a weak exhaust port. Just my 2 cents worth.
**** I just realized I replied to a thread 2 years old...
ACR...as always, it depends more on how the camshaft lobes get to that number. Alot of cams with exhaust slightly less then intake are made by people who understand lt1's though. The hotcam is 525/525...you gonna argue over .003 to .005?

My car is hotcammed. Gregg97z the guy I bought the car from got a 12.01 @ 115 from it before he did some head work and a ls1 lid conversion to it. Im sure its easily capable of high 11s now. Going to the track when it opens to see what I can get out of it.
