Default LT1 Cam in L98?

I have a spare LT1 cam from a 94 Camaro and was wondering if it would help a 90 L98 Vette?
I didnt know if this cam being setup for a short runner intake would work out for the long runner L98 car or if it would just suck.
Thanks
Stevie

1994 Z28 cam is no better imo. A waste of cash.

If you wanna go through all that trouble. You should use something that would work. One cam that would be very suitable and would easily pass emissions would be the LPE 211 cam its numbers are 211/219 500/560 lift with a 1.6 rocker and its ground on a 112 LSA. It would offer excellent drivability, a very good performance increase and of course easily passes even California emissions.

Either a 211 or a TPiS ZZ9 would be more worth the trouble, a camaro cam is useless.
