Default 208/230 cam

How do you think this cam will perform in a LQ4, L92 heads, L76 intake:
208/230 .554/.546. Its actually a forced induction cam, but the price was right. I'm was originally looking AT 218/230 .580 custom grind. This will be a frequent driver. Thoughts?

I wouldn't put in a cam you don't really want just because you can get it cheaper. Save the money and get what you want.

I agree. I had an LT1 in the past that I bought a cam for that was cheap, spent the time and $$$ putting it in and ran the car, was not happy. Spent the money on the right cam and then spent more $$$ to put it in and was finally happy. Don't buy a cam for cheap unless it is the right one, trust me. I learned the hard way.

IMHO, I'd just save up your money & get a custom cam ground specifically for your set-up. You're already on the right track w/ a 6.0L & l92 heads. With the right cam & a good tune your truck is just going to flat out haul.

Edit: give Richard at WCCH a call. He can spec a cam for you & knows the L92 heads pretty well. Ed Curtis at Flowtech Induction is good, too.

That cam has a major exhaust bias, definitely a FI cam. I'd save up the money and get either a proven NA cam or something custom ground to your specs of choice.

Yes indeed. And it's still for sale. Let me know. It's just not going to work with NA motor.

It does. I had also heard that the L92 heads liked quicker valve events on the intake side even with NA. I acquired the cam in a package deal with FI in mind, but changed my mind(again!). Thought it might still work. Looks like I need to call WCCH. Heard nothing but good things.
