the XFI girnds are really tough on the valve train, ran one in my 95 and it liked to give the valve train hell, slung rockers at high rpm, snapped a few springs, and bent a few pushrods, this was using Comp 1.6rr's, Comp beehives, and Thunder hardend pushrods.....but it ran like a raped ape though.(I had the smaller grind though, 230/236 .571/.576 XFi290 I think

have not had the problems great white had with his but the 292 is a bigger cam than mine.

That's a 242/248 .584/.579 109 cam. That a HUGE cam for a 350.

I would rather run something like the the XE 290HR-12

230/244 .510/.540 108.

Been tested in a stock shortblock and had not yet peaked at 7000rpms, would expect the same from a 355, but the OP did not see fit to tell us what the displacement is so I am just guessing.

The Comp rpm ranges are WAY WAY lower than reality, that particular cam I would say the rpm range listed is a solid 1000rpms lower than the reality in a 350/355.

If the shortblock is a 355 and will handle 7000rpms you will still want to stay around 10 degrees smaller on the intake.
