That's a big ole cam. I'd check ptv for sure before I ran that cam. No way to say honestly. Anything anyone would tell you would be a guess. You'll have to check your ptv to be sure.

My question is; "What would make a person think that a cam from a 410+ci engine would be ideal for a 366ci engine?"

That cam's not even ideal for most strokers! I mean.....that thing's got more than 28* overlap

Jus' sayin'.....

6.005 bore? In a 6.0 block.
.I'm very impressed...wink.

That cam seems way too big to me for an under 400 inch engine. With a sfroker crank and 403 to 408 cubes it might work in track car but if the engine will be used in a driver...that cam seems too much too me.

It was just a thought lol
The Ms4 I had in my stock Ls1 rocked

Heads and intake are to be determined yet, to get the CR up a set of 243s at 58cc would be the best

Ls3 heads and intake flow more but CR wouldn't be as high as compared to the 243s....

i have a similar cam in my 5.3 making 600 at the wheels. Its a lot of overlap but worth the power. Mine is cut on a 108 lsa. runs fine just a little rough idle

646 646 246 242 108*

You need more exhaust lift if you want to spray that cam. Lingenfelter gt11 or gt 9 would be your ball park range, hope you got .660 dual springs already!

I recently built a 403ci nitrous motor. Running Wiseco -8cc pistons with 63cc 243's and my compression is right at 11.2:1.

My cam is the BTR Stroker Nitrous
251/266-112 (.632/.595)

So no, more lift on the exhaust is not needed as Brian did multiple tests with high lift cams on the exhaust side with almost no return.

My cam has a ton of overlap and after getting it tuned, it drives awesome... almost dont even know that its got a donky dick in it when cruising around town. But when the bottle comes on its an absolute monster.

For your motor that cam might be off because it wont be able to take advantage of the extra air flow that a stoker provides. I would suggest calling up Brian and see what he would recommend.

What Im really trying to get at is dont be afraid of a big cam for drive ability... Performance is another thing

I have a bigger cam than that on a 99 LSA in a 327ci motor. Spins to 9k.
