You will not like the cam with 3:08 gears. Are you really adding this solid lifter cam to your motor? This is the same cam used in 1969 z28's and is too radical for your combination IMHO. You will also need a stall converter to run this camshaft. Idle speed is 850RPM. I would use the 327-350hp cam. You will be much happier. I have actually ran this 375HP cam in a Camaro back when I didn't know any better. The car would do almost 60MPH in first gear and was a dog. Changed the gearing to a 3:73 and you couldn't tell it was the same motor. GM only used this cam with a manual transmission. You have been given notice of what you are stepping into. Now it's your turn to make a decision to get some on your foot or not.
Cheers.
