I have a 1966 L78, I need cam specs for a cam that will give me the most HP and allow the power brakes to work.
car weighs 3500 lbs, has 11.25 to 1.00 compression, has 4.11 gears, B&M nitrous converter 2800 stall speed, I prefer Comp Cams
but I am interested in what works well on the street.
EAGLE 316

Go with a hydraulic roller and make more power with a decent idle.
The ZZ502 cam should make 12" vacuum in a 396 (224/232 @ .540" lift - 110 lobe centerline)
