Thx for the replys all seem good the cam i used was just for an example the cam i will actually use will probably be custom since these L92 heads seem to like a different style of cam then the normal lsx.

Yes, they do. They like an earlier intake valve opening/ intake center line, and longer exhaust duration/ more exhaust lift. Bigger cubes like a tighter LSA (in general).

Why guess dyno numbers? You haven't said what shop's dyno you'd use, and every dyno is different. YES, even the same brand has variances. We could talk track times instead of dyno numbers. That way we talk what matters. What a concept!
