Default Largest cam on stock internals

Just wondering what is the largest cam you guys are running on stock internals? What rpm are you running it to? Thanks for any info.

i would assume the t-rex...7,200 rpm.

biggest cam duration...244 int. 250 exh.
lift varies on how much duration you're running..the more duration the less lift..

Well I could be wrong(its happend before) But i believe as long as your a 6-speed or a high stalled auto you can run anycam. Its just how high you spin it. IE- My buddy has a 4600 stall and a t-rex with stage 2 head. He spins his to 7200. Now his is forged. So if you go bigger on the cam the higher your going to have to spin the motor to get the max. Where as if your going to be getting a smaller cam like um...maybe a 224/224 you should be going no higher than I believe 6700? I think im wrong but do you see what Im getting at? You can run ANY cam its just how high you want to spin your STOCK short block. Now if you got a forged, hell spin it to the sky if you want. Hope that helped

You cant say that you can run ANY cam. There will be a limit where the valves will collide with the pistons if you go big enough. A t-rex is about the biggest you can squeeze in there.
