I have not posted here in a long time. Usually, everything I need is in the archives.
I have a 1979 Corvette with a L48 engine, auto, 3.55 gears. The compression checks out at 150 in all cylinders. I'm getting a lot of lifter noise at about 3000 to 3500 rpm. I bought the L82 350hp reproduction cam from GM performance parts. Will this cam perform well in my stock engine? What other parts need to be replaced besides the cam,lifters and timing set.
The concern I have is that the compression ratio is 8.2 to 1 in a L48 while the L82 has a 9 to 1 compression ratio. Will this make any difference?
