Right now, it doesn't look like the cams that work well on cathedral-port 408s will necessarily work well on the L92 head 408s. The L92s don't seem to respond to overlap like the cathedral port heads. For a *****-out 408 with cathedral port heads, you'll typically see 250/256 110-112LSA, but so far, it looks like the 4.0" bore motors with L92 heads get kinda cranky with more than 15 degrees of overlap at .050" (which is not very much). Lots more testing needs to be done.

For this application, maybe a 239/246 .649/614 114LSA +3 would work (especially keeping the nitrous in mind).
