408 Stroker cam help Can someone point me in the right direction as to which cam i should get or can someone spec me a custom cam? I have a 408 stroked lq4 with CNC'd L92 heads FAST 102/102 has about 9.5:1 CR plan on running pump gas, going to have a t56 trans with a moser M9 4:10.

See if you can get the valve free-drop dimension before you get a cam spec'd. I have seen a lot of ported L92 heads that have really shallow valve drop dimensions. The shallower the dimension, the less piston to valve clearance you'll have.

Why such a low compression? you planning on boost later? If you're just worried about pump gas, you could get away with pump gas at least another point higher...

how would i measure that, its a brand new set of cnc'd l92 heads from gm i cant find that dimension anywhere and im out of state for the next 2 months. what would i do? take the springs off and measure the stem then set it on a table drop the valve and measure the stem again? the pistons i have are for an l92 engine with a 20cc dish and valve reliefs
