For a stock shortblock I wouldn't go bigger than a CC306, but stock shortblock or fully forged a custom is always going to give you the best results

AI has some killer heads for sure. They would probably be my top consideration if I were in the market for a new set of heads.

yea thanks for the help... the only thing that i have left is if a 355 or 383 or a 396 would work better... and run better on nitrous...

Depends on what your budget is. More inches will make more horsepower and torque. Any will run on nitrous.

well i found a 355 383 and 396 stroker kits... and all are $1,500... and my budget is around 3,000 give or take a few hundred... i at least dont have to buy springs and stuff like that b/c i already have new things in... if i was to get all of this and everything be forged... wound the 292xfi cam be alright or still not good... i just want the cam that will get me going the fastest lol...

and sorry for asking so many questions... Just need some help from someone that has expirence with this motor

You do not have the budget to do this right so don't even try.

Notice the 11.4 compression is with 64cc heads, LT1 aluminum heads are a LOT smaller and this is going to jack compression to close to 13:1

You seem to think displacement is key, another reason to STOP and not start this project at this time because you not only lack the funds but the knowledge and you will endup spending a lot and getting little for it.

yea i know... im getting heads from ai... im not doing this for awhile... if i ever decide to i have a friend that works on these motors for a living.. and knows alot about them... i will have him do the work if i ever decide to do this... i may or may not mod it... i might just leave it how it is... and buy a bike...

I have this cam, just got it installed, fired it up and the push rods fell out...
Im thinking that stock length push rods are a no go.. Dropped it off at my buddies shop, they have adjusted and re-adjusted the roller rockers 4 times and still the rods fall out.

It was suggested that he use a push rod lenth checker to determine what the correct length is, now that we know there is an issue.
Waiting to see how this thing runs..

Comp 985 springs, new locks and retainers, comp cams chromoly magnum 1.6ratio roller rockers on a set of ported and polished stock heads..
Bottom end is a forged 383ci that spun easily to 6500 on the last cc305 cam, though it seemed to run out of breath around 5k.

Time will tell whether this cam works well with what I got... I just wish I could drive it.
