hello! guys and gals.im trying find the best choice on a cam for my 370 ci ,l92 headed based 6.0 it is a street driven truck,so lots of bottom end and streetable torque is the aim im looking for.this will be in my 60 chevy short bed and will be using all truck components.all info greatly appreciated!!!
specs:
l92/l76 truck intake,wiring and pcm.unless better intake becomes available
as cast l92 heads cut to 68cc 823 casting
9.6:1 compression
4l80e trans
as of now i have a 3:07 gear but will probably go to a 3:73

thanks for the input.i was hoping to get a 10.1 comp ratio, could not find any lq9 flat tops that would fit my press pin rods, these sealed power hypereutectics that i have have a 11cc dish.my static comp. ratio with a .041 gasket gets me in the 9.6:1 range.it may be possible to trim my heads a couple more ccs. the piston is out the hole .004 so my PTH clearance is close to borderline.may have to step up in gasket thickness.
thanks again. oh by the way! what kind of idle would this cam produce!

224/230 111 LSA is 5* overlap, so noticeable lope but not outrageous.
If you like it PM me and I'll give you the specs and work out your chamber size for best static compression and dynamic.
