Default Can I use this 285LR cam with both a stock shortblock and a future built engine?

So, I'm trying to pick out a decent cam that I can use for awhile. On my current car (only bolt-ons) and then when the bottom end goes. When it comes time, I'm sure I will be going 383ci or above.

Comp Cams LSR 285LR HR13. Full specs here: http://www.compcams.com/Company/CC/c...csid=1404&sb=0 It has a 235/243 duration and a 0.621/0.624 lift. When it comes time for the cam I will be doing lifters, 1.72 rockers, springs, retainers, valve locks, and more.

Can I use this cam with a stock shortblock? Stock heads?

Thanks in advance!

You shouldn't have any clearance problems with that cam as long as your heads aren't milled a lot. Going from 1.7 to 1.72 rockers is not going to be a noticeable difference in PTV clearance either.

I'm looking to see what that cam will do with my current set up and an intake.

Thanks for the help so far. Can anyone else chime in?

What's your current setup? Intake, exhaust, tranny, gears? Daily Driver?
