Jack, I agree with you that $300 is a lot just for a cam. But if you put a new cam in the 260hp motor you will lose the warranty (I think)... I'm in the same boat or vette, my '78 L-82 goes through 1 qt / hour... I'm thinking of either the 260 or 290, I agree they are of great value. I my get...
JohnZ is usually right, but I thought surging is more spark related... Maybe fouled out plugs, wrong gap, wrong plugs (platinum in a non-platinum car)... Wrong timing or dwell, maybe meter is off calibration...
Mmm... My car shifts fine, all gears ('78). The problem is when I go into reverse, the car bogs down. I was told here that reverse might be hung up on first... When I looked into putting the adjusting tool in the shifter (I put dual exhaust in already), it didn't look the ez on your back. Maybe...

It took an except over 5 hours at a shop to put my true duals in with a H-pipe, what do you think it will take you on your back? Plus you can't put in an H-pipe yourself... I'm just saying think about it... Vettes are NOT your usually car...
I would NOT get a kit... Go to a good muffler shop and have them make a custom exhaust... if your keeping the engine mostly stock, go with 2 1/4" (under 325 hp)...
They sell a special tool that ZIP has/had, I just looked for you but couldn't find it. It costs about $3. It lines up the linkage. It looks like a tongue depresser...
I don't believe that's true. I believe that Bars Leak is used at the factory...With all the aluminum engines and plastic radiators out there. Also so far no leaks with the Bars All...
