Cam for a 402
Cam for a 402 I know some guy has one on here for that bigger Engine, I want a good idea to go with for this setup, and how to figure out all the compression calculations.
My setup is goin to be a 402(4.000x4.000), L92 Heads with possibly a 3-angle Valve Job, L76 Intake with complete LS2 Fuel Injection System, 90mm Holley TB, and a 85mm MAF, so the airflow won't be a problem. The Stall is going to be a Yank SS 3200, so it stays a little easier on the Car, and street friendly. I want something that sounds nasty, like about a 111 LSA, but has some strong power up to about 6300, I want to shift it around 6500. I was looking at the TSP Magic Stick 3, 237/242, .603/.609, 112LSA. A friend of mine has this in a stock 6.0l Truck Ironblock, and it got him into the 10's with his setup, and he is still stock Engine with just that Cam.
What do you guys think, can I go a little bigger with my setup and still run with that Stall?

I put a 239/248 .649/.615 110LSA +1 in my 402 and it doesn't have the greatest manners--and that is with a 6spd--I would say you have a good one there, with an auto and that stall I'd stay a bit on the smaller side..
That MS4 should be a good cam for that motor (has 111* LSA, right?). I don't know if I would go any tighter on the LSA for a street motor. That cam SHOULD pull hard up high. I've got a 249/244 on a 114+4 LSA in my 408. Has EXCELLENT street manners, but I want something that pulls harder up high like you are wanting. I may get the MS4 and try it (when I get the ambition)
This is a cam that my cam grinder came up with for one of my customer's with the L92 heads and a 403 cid motor.
