Your combination looks a bit mismatched. Do you have more specs on the cam? More details on the heads? Compression ratio?

As for the stock Z/28s beating you, what year/engine type are we talking here? IROCs? LT1s? LS1s? The new SS?

Going back to the combo you have...I'd say it's good enough to get the car running but nothing beats a matched combo. You can get a nice Edelbrock top end that will wake your car up. And you can buy/install the components one piece at a time. Check Ebizzy and C-list...

Don't get any of the letter cams. I have an E cam but the car came with it already installed. That garbage is coming out first chance I get.

What else do you know about that engine? What about the parts in it? Your entire engine sounds like it might be mismatched. Any way you can find out exactly what you're dealing with?

A 306 with 351 heads does not make the engine a 351...
