Cam size question how big can you go with out fly cutting the pistons on a stock short block? i know there are variables when installing the cam but as a rule whats a safe bet as far as max lift and duration goes. reason i am asking is i have a track only car thats stock internal at the moment but I want to get a cam soon. anyway any info would be helpful

Probably a TRex from Thunder or an MS3 or 4 from TSP. Those are pretty big but designed to work with a stock long-block. You have to turn the rpm to get the power from those cams

But if you idled it up to 850 or so it would prolly push through that stock stall eh?
