Tell your friend to go roller...for peace of mind...
 
That cam looks to be a little much. I wouldn't go over a 212. To run 11's you don't need a lot of cam just a good combo. :)

I agree with Mike on this one. If your buddy can afford a roller it would be the best choice but if he can't, something a little smaller would be better.
 
With that set up, I would think he should be close to mid to high 11's with a stock cam (considering a good tune, and a decent 60'). Is he planning to run pump gas, race gas? Alky kit? Where is the car going to be driven most?..street, track, or both?

I must agree, if he's doing the build go roller by all means. However, if the roller is absolutely not an option I would not go over 212 for a street driven buick.
