Default cam 4 a lq9

is a 222/224 581/581 112 to small to make good power on a rcsb 2wd with full bolt ons,lq9 6.0,fast 92mm,410,4k stall yank.im thinkin of running this cam but maybe upgrading the heads stock(317) to some prc2.5. well see if any one has a similiar set up or has ran a cam of similiar specs on a same set up let me know how its worked out. thanks for ur time

You have the stall/gears/intake to go much bigger especially if a nice set of heads is in your future. I have a very similar set up except with trick flow heads and I run a 227/235/615/620/111. Even that is on the small side.

With that converter and gear you would be fine with something in the mid to high 230s. IMO

I would get something with duration in the high 230s if it were mine. And depending on how the heads flow probably quite a bit of lift.

A cam in the 230s would be great. I would upgrade heads too
