Default Biggest cam possible on a stock G8 L76?

Just wondering what the largest and most aggressive cam i can run in my L76 engine without doing anything like fly cutting the pistons. Im not concerned with drivability as im building this engine for a swap into my 1978 Malibu and i just want to squeeze every last bit of power out of the engine that i can make. I have also been thinking about milling the heads for some more compression but again i dont want to mess around with the bottom end. And yes i will be doing the DOD delete.

Your best bet would be to talk to somebody like Pat G., Rick Crawford, or Adam Cooper with Ace performance. Adam specd my cam and sold me a whole kit with everything I needed all at once. Very knowledgeable guys.

You can also ask Damian a moderator on here. He has done a bunch of G8s.

I'd look into Futral as well. I have a Pat G cam I am happy with, it's small. I may have Futral spec out my second just to swap things around

Big cam doesnt alway mean big power. Stay in the 219 to 235 range. PM me i can help you get a cam picked out and get everything you need.
