My first question is........ is the 76 coming off the car???
If no then dont even think about going with a 408......
How fast do you really want to go???
It can be done with smaller cubes and the $$$$ for a 408 can be spent in other area's
Oh i forgot im 38 cubes smaller then a 408 and i run a 224/222 .581/.581 114+2..... works for me....

However, when you go to the racetrack, check out the turbo cars that are in the 7's and 8's. Every one of them has a big lumpy cam and huge heads.

Stenod is in the 8s with a small cam they most know something we dont and it has a tiny cam...anyway i dont know enough to argue however the kid asked what cam would be best prety much and im sure hes not going for 8s so i figuerd id let him know you get a big cam youll make great power and loose about 100 miles pertank is that nessacery?? or get a small cam and make great power and save gas millage and be DL and make some money off people just my thoughts...i used to have a big cam in my car NA i loved it however it maid no power down low it was a 232 238 595 605 on 114..... once i hit 4500 rpms it ripped ...again just my thoughts
