6.0 L92 Headed cam choice... i just paid for my LQ9 shortblock and im planning on L92's for it. now, what would kill down low with those massive intake/exhaust runners and huge intake valves? im also wondering how the charecteristics of the intake runners will effect the cam specs chosen?
It is hard to choose a cam for a set of heads and intake that really haven't had any testing. It is a trial and error game. What size motor, compression, vehicle, transmission, stall will all be factors also.

well hell, how do the LS7's and C5R's react? it would be safe to assume these will react similarly to those.

Maybe try milling those heads .030" or so to get compression up. You would probably have to flycut with whatever cam you choose though with as big as those friggin valves are. I haven't measured valve drop on an L-92 head though to know for sure.

Why not give the whole setup picture from begining?
If you are going FI then those big runners and valves will be counter productive,
What you should go after is velocity.
Then you'll need a nice 6* split intake/ exhaust (exhaust biased VE's, with moderate overlap)

these heads look to be the budget ticket if all is well in valve and piston country.
