What's wild for a cam in a 408??

This is a top 1% of the biggest cams for a 346 and is bigger then most 408 cams.
The cam he is looking at isn't small by any means.
I would say it would be similar to a G5X2/G5X3 in a 346.
On the big side for not going "Crazy", on the avarage side of "Crazy".

I've got a 26x 26x cam on a 113 lsa in my 408 and it's not THAT bad. It won't drive under 2200 rpm, but it's ok. You can get in 6th on the highway at 70-75. I have 3.73's and with 4.10's it shouldn't be that bad.

Well, if you think thats a big cam for a 408 then how bout this..
I have a friend with a 408 Stroker motor with a camshaft that is 27X/28X duration & 823/826 lift! Has about 11.5:1 Compression and the cam is ground for Nitrous.. Oh yeah, Its a FORD motor tho!! lol Also another good friend has a 351 Cleveland bored over with stock stroke with Yates heads and a Comp .810 lift cam. THOSE ARE BIG..

Daily drive my 252/256 612/612 112lsa everday in stop and go traffic 20 miles each way. Drives pretty good if you ask me. But then again, I had Jason at TSP tune it.

I figure the Cam you have listed would do good with 12-1 compression.

So should i go a little smaller on the duration Say 250/255? and should i stay at a 113 LSA
