Default L-68 400hp cam specs

Anyone know the factory cam specs of an 1969 L-68 400hp vette and approx 1/4 mile times. Not that I would ever run it down a track, Just curious.

All I do know that may not partially answer your question is that the cam is the same hydraulic cam as the 390 HP {single Rochester 4 bore}. A pure guess on 1/4 mile times would vary with the drivers experience. More likely high 14`s. Maybe there could be a responder that knows first hand and will be more specific.

Same as L36 390 Hp engine except for intake and carbs.
