Default Re: 1970 Chevelle SS 454 LS6 Rebuild + Details

Hello Danny

My L-78, other then .30 over pistons, has the original compression, and I put in the crane cam, that is the same as factory spec. This would be the same came for the LS6. I love this stick. You can't beat the sound of a solid lifter cam either. After break in this spring, I put about 500 miles on the nova, and re-set them. All was good when I parked it with about 1000 miles of driving this year.
The gas I run locally is 94 octane. I prefer Mohawk gas, I`m not sure if you have them over your way. The timing is where it needs to be, and doesn`t detonate. I`m not sure what the timing is set at, sorry.
Your car, do what you feel is correct for your driving pleasure. I just want to tell you I haven`t had any issues with the compression, and solid lifter stick with local gas. Keep us posted on your final decissions.
