What's your goals for the car?

That's a good torquey cam to lug that Goat around. You could go with something bigger but at the sacrifice of some power under the curve.

I'd say go bigger on the cam. Hell you got a similar sized cam in your GTO with a lot less ci.

A builder in Lauderdale just did a 416ci L92 head and L76 intake 11:1 cr with a tiny 230 cam, it made 526 RWHP. Thats good power!!!!

Default 416 Cam

I can't wait to hear of your results. My L92/L76 416 longblock from Scoggin Dickey was just delivered yesterday. The cam is a Comp Cams custom grind 236/248 @ .050 with .580/.599 ground on a 113 LSA. The comp cams representative recommended a 115 LSA. However, the cam I had in my LS2 had a 112 LSA & I just loved it. This was the only compromise that I requested from their specs. This will be a daily driver for me with limited drag strip time. I did order a stock LS7 clutch too.

I'd look into a Comp XE-R 236/248 .602"/.615" 115+0. The L92 heads and L76 intake require slightly different valve events than what we're used to seeing. Also, with a head that flows that well, you don't need as much overlap, so going with a wider LSA will help versus the big split.

Ibigcam. I would not go with a 112lobe. You need a wider lobe to build cylinder pressure for the rpms of this engine. Talk to the engine builder and be more concern about centerlines and valves opening and closing events for the cycle. Tighter lobes on these heads need lots of rpms.

I would go with the livernoise cam. Folks are forgetting that that large intake valve will flow more air at a given lift and duration than than traditional ls heads...it is like having a 10 or 15% larger cam without the drawbacks.

How mush did that longblock cost, if you don't mind me asking?
