Comp Cam XFI 292 cam in lt1 What would happen if i ran the xfi 292 cam which is 242 int./248 exh. ---
0.584 int./0.579 exh. lift --- at 113 lsa in my car with long tube headers,
underdrive pulleys, a 3.73 gear, a fully built 4l60e with 3200 stall, fully ported
intake manifold, and a custom single blade giant throttle body and a few
other things in my signature?
I plan to make it a 355 possibly a 383 but for now id like to run that cam in
my current set up.

That cam has been tried on a 350, at 7000rpms it still had not peaked. Cam would be a very big mistake on a 350. The XFI lobes are spring eaters too and will need more spring than Comp recommends because their rpm ranges are WAY lower than reality.

my cam is a bit smaller than that but with a lot tighter lsa, 106, and its basically a turd below 3k rpm. the tighter lsa will help drivability by bringing the torque in quicker iirc. i couldnt imagine driving a smaller cube motor with that cam
