With my job and just being so busy with other things, my car hasnt gotten the usual beating in awhile. Hopefully that changes this year though. Now I got the 9" and other parts, the car is getting thrashed 
Hope you understand that Comp's rpm range on that cam is WAY low, the stock PCM is going to hamper your ability to really use it. Oh and the springs they recommend for it may be fine in the rpm range they list for it but will NOT be in the rpm range you will need to spin it.
I know it is not the ego stroking you are getting from everyone else but this is a far more useful post.
I will admit I think using that cam atall is a mistake but if you do not believe my comments on the rpm range and springs look up posts by "the Engineer" he is running this in a 396 and is happy and will confirm my comments on rpm and springs even with his added displacement bringing the rpm range down, these problems will be exagerated for you with the smaller displacement.
Be a lot easier to address now than after the car is running.

His name is Rich Keller. His buisness is R.A.M.S. He does very nice work and his prices are good to. He can build some really badass stuff.
Do you want a cookie? Everyone knows you have to scream the cam but thanks again for telling us. Maybe we should all just sell our cars and buy 96 caprices and build them exactly the same as your so we can all have fast cars casue no one has ever went fast with a big cam. Were just foolish dumb kids trying new things seeing what works and what it takes to make it work casue thats what this hobby is all about. Maybe you should call comp cams and tell them to put cards in the box with the xfi 292 that say Beware: Buyer your a foolish *** and you know nothing and you stupid for wasting you money on this cam.
