sounds like something Mr. T would say, and right after saying that he would say i Pity the fool!!

 

Thanks WKMCD. So i should be a bit over 500 with a good tune then. I would go bigger on the camshaft but i need a wide enough lobe seperation for a 200 hit of the funny stuff. I could probably get something ground for my specific application. Maybe like a 250/256 - .640/.640 w/ 112 lobe seperation. Is there a profile that anyone can suggest that will work better than the one i have picked out (240/246 - .600/.600 - 112). I do not drive this car as a daily driver, merely a toy. I want to go more wild than conservative, but i think i want to stay w/ 93 octane.

 

Shop name?

 

I would like info on this as well... Is 250/256 640/640 112 to big for a 402 with -2cc pistons? Cuurently having my set up built right now. 402 with Livernois Stage 2 L92's /NW 90/ etc... Just wanting something shy of max effort, but definately not mild.
Thanks.

True dat.

 

I think it was High Performance Pontiac Magazine that started it with their article entitled, "The Ultimate Head". I appreciate their enthusiasm but, the truth of the head is that it is just the latest release from GM that appears to be “Better” but much more is yet to be learned about its potential through porting and cam design. I’m personally pleased with it, but I sure would be careful to call any engine component “Ultimate”. That is to assume there is a final plateau of performance that has been reached. Technology changes and improves. The pursuit of perfection is an aim not a final, stagnant goal to be achieved and sat on like a throne. The L92/L76 combination is a great performance bang for the buck, try it, you’ll like it. But the MOD bug is just so hard to satisfy, isn’t it? It just doesn’t stop there. Personally, I’m looking forward to the results of power adders with this setup.

 

The L92 Engine/Cam/Manifold combo must work together as a package. It could be that all these wild, long duration cams are being hampered by the stock L92/L76 Intake Manifold. Once the aftermarket suppliers, such as FAST, begin making Manifolds, longer duration cams will probably produce very nice power. I will be flow testing a set of L92 heads and Intake and posting the results, before and after mods.
