Yes, but make sure you add the oil additive that has zinc in it. (ZDDP plus, or something like) that. The oil made nowadays doesn't have the zinc in it that it used to, and it has caused some problems with non-roller cams. AND, the Buick has had problems with these 3.8 blocks also. Those two, coupled with stronger valve springs might do your cam in.
Most people have said that the factory cam doesn't have problems, but why take chances? Oh, and if you go with a new cam, I highly recommend going roller. It is worth the extra couple of bucks.

11.3@123mph on 195/75/14" whitewalls. Yes, 195s!
11.2 on the big giant slicks. What's the point? Maybe I'll go back to the whitewalls. They are lighter and have less rolling resistance.
