I'd take a long, hard look at some L92 heads and an L76 intake manifold to go on top of that 408ci...

Thats a really healthy cam I have a 243/249 631/630 on a 113 and it is really agressive it is border line for a everyday driver in my opinion. It makes awsome low end power and reacts very good to the spray.

minus the fact that there are no solid dyno numbers to back up that suggestion.... so far the dyno numbers suck *** with the new L92 heads.



what do the flow numbers on the heads look like, thats what is going to determine the lift and such on the cam. cam looks like a pretty healthy cam. lift is pretty damn high but if your heads flow up there then great

lol i agree... your right the heads DO look impressive, im not debating that.. but for some odd reason they are not performing... just like the dude making 485 with heads that flowed 390 CFM on his LS7 setup...

Erik Koenig is building me a 408 and I'm going with a Comp XER 244/248 .612/.615 112+2. This cam is big but by no means huge by today's standards.
