To get the best recommendation, you'll need to be very honest in what type of power band you're going to want. Also, what type of intake will you be running? Reason why I ask is lots of people are starting to run the GMPP single plane for the L92 heads with excellent results. That intake manfold will want an earlier intake valve open/close and a slightly later exhaust valve open/close. Nitrous will want an earlier EVO. If nitrous, how much and how often? What do your flow numbers look like at various lifts for I/E? So many questions to be answered. This is why all of the better cam guys use a long questionaire to gather as much info as possible.

You're absolutely right, I have read a many a thread with nothing but good things to say about his cams. I have also read good thing about Rick at Synergy as well that's why I would leaning toward these guys.

I just ordered my short block from LME and now I need help picking out a cam for it. I going to top it of with a L92/L76 combo.
Here some spec on the combo
TSP L92s
72 CC Combustion Chamber
.51 head gasket
1 CC dome L92 Wiseco piston
.010 out of the hole
around 11.5-1 CR
I will also be using 1-7/8 headers as well.

I'm kind of in the same boat. Not sure what cam to get for my future L92/L76 combo on a 408. One thing I know is that the cam needs minimal overlap it appears to work well with the L92 heads (from what i can tell anyway), as well as be exhaust biased to make up for the OK exhaust flow of the heads. I have also seen cases where cams with quite a bit of overlap work well with the L92 heads...so I'm kind of stuck right now on my decision. As of late though, I have been looking heavily at the Livernoise Stage 2R (or even stg 3, but probably a tad wild for a street setup) cam for L92's. It looks to be exactly what I want as far as specs, but I don't really know anything else about it as far as real world performance goes. Let me know what you decide on! and good luck!
