Re: would this cam work for me??

If you have a stock L98 (350 TPI), then you have a roller cam. The cam in your link is a flat tappet. Do a search on here and see what others are running. Also if you have stock heads, they won't handle much lift so keep that in mind when selecting a cam.

Hope this helps.

You can run the lt4 hotcam but with 1.5 rockers on the stock heads, just needs a lil tuning. decent sound with a good power increase. I ran the same cam in my 88 formy a while back

Re: would this cam work for me??

you can go to Comp Cams website and get a free download of a program called Camquest. Then just go in and plug in your specific information and the program will select a cam(s) based on the parameters you give it. Pretty helpful tool IMO.
