Default Small, Medium, and BIG

For the 402, 408 engines, what size cam would fall into what category?

Would a 230 somethin cam be a small cam? 240+ A medium cam? and a 250+ be a big cam?

I am getting ready to purchase a vehicle with a 408 in it, and it has a 246/250 on a 112 lsa in it. Is that considered a good size cam for a 408?

I know most of you will say, Well it depends on what you think is big and what isn't.

I currently have whats in my sig, and I think that is a Small to medium cam. So thats my take on it. As for an ls1


Thanks

I'd say that is on the upper end of a medium size cam. The average cam for that engine seems to fall in the 244-248 catagory.
