Default Another Cam Question

My car will be street and strip, mostly street. It's a 364 CI with L92's and will run a carb. Also auto trans. Will a 232-234 and .592-598 with a 112 lsa be to much. All the post I have read over time says these motors run well with these big port heads. I want to take advantage of that feature but don't want to over do the cam. With that duration I'm thinking I should be ok.
Comments from the experienced pro's would be helpful. Thanks again
Also plan to run the new and improved Comp Cam beehive #26918 valve
spring when the are availble.

cam isnt too big but isnt right for the l92's,you need a bigger split due to poor flow on the exhaust side of the head.Pm me i can do you a nice custom grind that will work well for that combo

Is this a stock bottom end engine? Are you running a stock L92 head or a ported L92 head? How big of stall converter? Rear gear ratio and car weight will also help. With this info you should be able to get more accurate help.

Cam is good for your setup.

Cam I have in and yours are very, very close. I have dynoed at 450rwhp, through a stalled A4. I have non-ported L92's on a stock 6.0.

I would suggest around a 10-14 degree split in your .050" duration numbers. Also I would use a very aggressive exhaust lobe to help get things started a little faster. Depending on the intake duration used/wanted your ptv will dictate your LSA (probably will be 112* + 0* even with flycutting for your most aggressive LSA).

We've done extensive engine & chassis dyno testing with l92 configurations on 6.0l, 408 & 418cid l92 head engines. Give me a call when you get some time & lets discuss your specific needs. There's a lot of mis-information about camming l92 headed setups online...... We've done some p/v testing with several different camshafts & I even have valve relief cutters for l92 size valves in my office

Jason, are you considering his non-ported L92 heads into the equation? Just wondering, I have been given my recommendations by the head cam grinder, we were taking flow numbers through the L76 intake with stock L92 heads on a 364 cid motor.
