Default Ideal big HP spray cam for 6.0L 372 Iron block motor

If I get my supercharger stuff sold, I'm going back to N/A for a while, then I'm going to put a direct port on it....if I don't sell, I'm doing a COGS setup..

But anyways...

My motor is a 6.0L Iron block 372C.I. currently at 9:1 compression w/the heads that I have..

I will most likely swap heads for some Patriot LS6/LQ9 welded some to raise the comp ratio, I have valve reliefs on the pistons so I can run a fairly large cam...

I want to spin the motor to around 6700 no higher.....I plan on spraying a lot in the future....want to stay hydraulic because I drive it on the street all the time, no solid roller for me...

I was thinking 240/250 .610/.620 112lsa

Anyone else have opinions?

sounds about right to me for the bottle, it will still make power above 6700 but you can just shift there since you are spraying...... on motor I think it will be a higher rpm cam.

There was a guy here with an MTI built 382 that was making some killer numbers on spray. Cant remember what cam he was running, maybe he will chime in. The car was an SS (Black I think).

I like your duration, but I would try to run .580 lift. I have found some good lobes to run any duration with similar lift to .580.
