I'm not entirely sure an you can tune for a specific RPM when the cam shaft is still playing a major role in the efficiency equation.
I was under the assumption that the new Camaro aero was pretty terrible so I thought that the Chevelle might not be much worse. With an air dam to reduce under car turbulence I think the gap closes ever farther. I really didn't think old cars were THAT bad in the aero department.

Oh I thought you were talking about an early 70s Monte, the 80s shouldn't of had that problem but the problem they did have mid 80s was they couldn't figure out ememissions. Also the computers were programmed without the ability to learn so when you move it out of it's normal operating range it may have done bad things to the air/fuel or egr, etc.
