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.

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.
Thanks.

True dat.

They are just a pretty damn good flowing head that are really good on specific applications, that are reasonably priced.
Like anything else NO head will be the best for every application.

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.
