Re: Cam Questions
I have ran the Comp Cams Nostalgia plus 12-673-4 N+30-30S version of the 3965754 2nd design. This was in a 10to1 383 Four speed 373 gears. I used this camshaft to bleed off some cylinder pressure. the car had a Comp 272 224 110 cam and was Very octane sensitive. It did the job well. no more knocking, Lost a ton of low end torque but pulled good on the top end. It sounds bad ass! If your looking for something close to the sound of the 2nd design, but pulls better thought the whole powerband. I would suggest Comp Cams 12-221-5 280B-8 242-250-108 .507 .530 I have used this cam lashed at .024, installed at 104. makes strong torque and power.
P.S. I think I may still have this camshaft at my shop with a pair of matched lifters. If your interested, I can check Monday and its yours for free  Ken Maisano

Re: Cam Questions
I'm a huge fan of the LT1 cam. While it wont have the thundering idle it sounds like you care looking for, it pulls hard all through the RPM range and will run your power brakes.
Ken has a good point about bleeding off some cylinder pressure for pump gas. It just comes at the expense of low end torque. 11:1 and the LT1 cam.............you will be mixing in some race gas in order to keep the timing where it should be. Tim
