Id say drop the 307 in and see how close to the index you are with what you have, then decide if it's worth going further with it.
I bracket raced my camaro for several years with a close to stock combo before deciding to put it into stock eliminator.
Good luck....
Or you could sell your car to me, my camaro was the one that I should have kept

I dont pretend to know half as much about 6 cyl . as Billy but a 230 @140 in Vsa sure looks better to me than a 307 @ 195 in Psa . If I remember right when Billy ran a 307 in his Nova it was rated @168 hp. Just my opinion Rick

hey Ken! i do have a flat hood for it that was on my 68 car its black though! i actually started on the 307 although I believe a 230 or even a 250 is a better combo! that 307 carb an intake look real restrictive even for a little 307.
