    The cam in my El Camino is 276/286 at .0045", 221/230 at .050", .454"/.454" valve lift, and 110 LSA, and is best with 9.0-10.5 compression to 6000 rpm's (a low end cam) It has lots of lop, and pulls 16lbs of vacuum, power brakes work normal, the more duration the more compression that bleeds off, which I wanted to do with my 58cc heads, so that I could use 87 octane gas. It never knocked with 87, even when it was 100 degs out
