Default Cam trouble!

Newly acquired 2000 camaro ss. Thinking of adding ported and polished L92 heads and cam. But I want to have a cam with my own specs. If anyone has any info on how to do so that would be greatly appreciated!

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong but L92 heads DO NOT bolt up to LS1 blocks. They will only work on the 6.0L blocks. As far as custom cams talk to Patrick G search this name and he does a custom cam program that is stellar. He knows his ****.

Wow feel like a real mustang driver now! The way it reads in gm high-tech is that you just need the L76 intake to mate them together. I didnt know it was only on the ls2(6.0). I apologize! I trying to go with a streetable setup to yeild about 450+ hp. With mean chop of an exhaust note. How about air flow research?

Unless you are an engineer or race for a living, let the pros design the cams. There are many proven cams out there for whatever application you have.
