Comp's rpm ranges are WAY WAY lower than reality. Give that cam good heads and in a 350 it will not peak by the pcm's hard 7200rpm limit, which is WAY beyond what is safe with a truely stock shortblock.
With a stock shortblock a good general rule is to stay below 230degrees on the intake.

We talking stock heads, like with stock springs? Coil bind and snap, crackle with those lift numbers on stock springs...
Even with stock 1.5 SA, the lift numbers are still .548 I/.543 E on the 292.
Anybody know the stock springs coil bind point (looking for it now)?

too big! not enough heads or supporting valve train with a stock engine. the 280xfi is doable. I really like my 233/239 but I doubt you can even get it anymore. Oh, btw, as mentioned above, 6200 is waaaaay off. I'm pulling gears @ 6700 with a cam that doesn't have nearly that duration!
while i can respect that statment jake.. i will also disagree.. i know what my preferences are for my drivng style and my taste in general.. i love the way the big cams drive.. i've dd cars with solid roller. cars with over .600 lift etc.. i love it. im planning for down the road. i dont wanna rip apart my car again to do the cam and whatnot. i'd rather have a car with a big cam that needs better heads witch i can buy later down the road.
im looking at the ai cam. i havent found any clips numbers or anything of the such on it though.. mabey someone can provide that.. also they dont list a cost
Ai 230 / 238 - .575/.575 - 110 LSA Primary Operating Range: 2300-6400rpm
This is our largest stock long-block cam for M6 cars. Excellent for rebuilds with 11:1 compression. Lopey idle, good drivability with gears & tuning, and excellent mid-range with peak power at approximately 6300rpm. Properly tuned w/ supporting modifications, M6's typically produce 350-365rwhp SAE corrected.

I wonder how much more the peak HP rating moves up (rpm wise) with a set of their 200 cnc heads? Anyone want to take a stab at it?
OP, I'm not trying to hijack here as you did mention heads down the road.
