Yes you are right the lb9 manual got the same cam as the l98 did. Yes the lb9 auto got shafted with a cam commonly refered to as the peanut cam. Thus the reason I have an LT1 cam in my car now. I'm am almost a sec faster.

New,
Have you tried the 1.6:1 roller rockers yet? I seem to recall a thread with that possibility.
I see by your sig that the drag radials did very well for the times. Not bad for stock injectors and plenum, and a factory PROM. I smell a low-14 on the way...
