CLASS RACER FORUM - View Single Post - Couple of questions about new 68 Camaro combo

Just bought a 68 camaro off a friend. it is his old bracket car, he bought a dragster.
I am going to build a 350 for this car, and even though it is a bracket car i would like some of your suggestions, i am amazed at what class racers can do with the rules you have to run under., and how hard the cars leave
I am going to run
10:1 compression
RPM intake
Edelbrock RPM heads
1 5/8 headers
going run either a 750HP or 950HP
will be running 28x10 slicks
will be getting a 8" convertor
I am looking to shift around 6200/6300 1/8th mile only

my questions are:
what gear should i run
what duration and lsa cam should i run thinking either hydraulic or solid flat tappet no rollers
what convertor and how much stall

was kinda trying to approach this car like a I/J car. I see I/J novas running 7.20/7.30 in the 1/8th with rather impressive wheelstands on the internet all the time. would like this car to leave/run like that
Any suggestions or ideas appreciated.
