Default how about this cam for my 427???

Okay after listening to you guys and alot of other people I decided to go with a different camshaft. Instead of the 232, 242, 540, 545, 113 lob sep and 111 centerline isky grind I am going with a 244, 248, 609, 612, 113 lobe sep on a 108 centerline. This will go in my 427 with 11.4 to 1 compression and afr 225 heads etc etc. Let me know your thoughts on this one as well thanks, I just read the cam and it has +4 on it as well assuming that means its got 4 degrees of advance ground into it.

That cam is very similar to what I have in my 402, with a 427 it will behave VERY well.

I have a 242/248 .646/.652 112 LSA +2 in my 427 road race car. I would have selected a wider intake to exhaust duration spread had I not had exhaust port work done.

How does that feel in your car?? I am thinking of switching to the L92 heads and L76 intake.

My 427 replaced my stock (except for tuning) LS6. I haven't had a chance to flash the computer with the new tune yet, but taking WOT data was definitely exciting! The car revs so much faster than before - I hit the rev limiter in 2nd and 3rd gear even though I was attempting to gradually press down on the accelerator pedal to get to WOT. I will have the car on the dyno soon, so I'll be able to apply some real numbers to my seat of the pants feel.

As for your car, what is your bore size? The L92 head/L76 intake combination is a great way to go. But if you have a 4.125 or larger bore, I think the extra $$$ for the LS7 head/intake combination is well worth it - but I'm looking at making well over 600 hp where aftermarket valve springs and larger fuel injectors are required.

nice, I have an LS7 block which comes with the 4.125 but I still am thinking of gong with the L92 combo cant beat the price. Im gunna order the heads and intake overnight so they will be here tomarrow and see what that does. Mind emailing me a copy of your tune so i can see how it compares to mine?? Ill share mine if your interested maybe i can get a few ideas for mine and you for yours.
