Default Have 238/252 cam laying around, wonder how itll do in a l92 6.0L

Ive got a 238/252, .603/.595 @ 113LSA +3 that im thinking about trying out in this motor, we tried it in a ls7 headed 422" but peaked too early and didnt carry the powerband past 6300, but might work ok in this

Forged 6.0L shortblock (approx 10.5:1)
Milled Stock L92 heads /w PRC Doubles and Manley Stainless Valve
L76 intake /w 90mm TB
1-7/8" Longtubes

I personally think 14 degrees of split is a ton more than I would normally run, but its free and laying around so im curious on how it will perform.

We used this cam as a test camshaft in a 422" ls7 headed motor and I have a bunch of spare parts laying around that makes a complete l92 headed forged 6.0L setup

i would put a bigger cam like 248/254 on the LS7 headed 422ci stroker to raise the power band and get more rwhp.

That doesn't mean it will work with the L92/LS3 heads.

Thats Decent Sized Cam for the Big Intake Valve of the L92s. How much Of a Valve Relief do you have on your pistons if you have any at all.

That's the same cam I'm using on my L92 headed 6.0 build right now. Had the Diamond pistons relieved for the L92 head as well. Should work good on a small cube motor L92 wise.

It was strange to me as well on the ls7 but I just felt that the cam had to be too small to cause it to fall off badly after 6500. I will have the new cam on the dyno next weekend to see how it turns out with alot bigger stick in it. I didnt spec out this cam, it was chosen for the customer by the guy who hand finished/assembled the heads. If the new cam doesnt make the power then ill be looking for more answers...
