Just wondering how quick has someone gone with a stock L98 cam equiped car.

 

i am approaching 13.7's with stock L98 on street tires....

there is one guy with a superram setup with stock heads and L98 cam and has gone 13.2 at 104......very nice

 

Just curious, why stick with the stock cam if you have done motor work? Or is this conversation based on stock lower ends with just bolt-ons?

 

Yep, stock bottom end, with bolt ons.

 

Gotcha

 

sounds like me....lol
13.21@104.63

 

My car has the cam that came in it from the factory when I bought it new. The car is a 1989 Trans Am GTA 350 with of course the L98 engine.

I have turned a 12.73 and 105.85 at California Speedway in Fontana. I'm using 1.6RR with Trickflow Heads. Allen

 

I have an 88 Iroc that runs a best time of 13.75 @ 98mph with the stock cam, stock heads, stock rearend gear(2.73) and some aftermarket bolt ons.

 

13.34@103 is best...in unnaturally good conditions...runs 13.5-13.8@100-102 mph any day of the week.

stock bottom end

 

Sounds like some good running cars for a stock cam!

 

Confession time: Actually my car does have the cam that came with it. However Chet Herbert Cams did a little grinding on the lobes and turned it into a ZZ9 equivalent.

 

1989, did the undersized lobes cause any geometry problems and does that pose any concerns?

 

Talked it over with Chet Herbert and the consenus was I did not need special push rods. Dyno Don refreshed my motor last year and came to same conclusion. Have about 35000 miles on the valve train with no problems. Allen

 

Stock heads, stock cam, ported plenum, slp runners, best time - 13.35 @103
