An LT1 in stock form develops 325 ft-lbs of torque.. 25 over the reccomended limit for a 901. I've read that retarding cam timing will shift the powerband up in RPM and reduce peak torque. Is this something i should consider doing? Will it mess anything else up? I plan to use the stock firebird EFI. (It's a 93, so it doesn't have a MAF sensor, and the chip has to be replaced to "chip" it, instead of the later LT1 reprogrammable type)
