292/508 question

OMG AJ, can you take up anymore room?
Nut shell it some. Dang!

FWIW, from the Purple line of cams mentioned, the best street manored would be the 280/.474. Stepping up for a pretty good street stripper would be the 284/.484. Best use for the 292 in the street would require (for best street results!) a 10-1 ratio. A pretty high 3500 stall converter and steep gears like at least a 4.10 set.
It is a large hyd cam @ 248@050.

If you move it to the strip, it isn’t so bad. It is a good bracket cam. I have met more than just a few guys running low 12’s with that cam.

Making use of that in the street is mostly a wrong move for most people since making it work requires more than just some work.

Is it me or does half the world think every thing is an install and go part?

Honestly if you run this cam you have to have the term high performance in the back of your mind. Look at the rpm range for the cam 2800 -6200 street strip. I ran this in a 4 spd worked pretty good I too seen people run the cam at the strip a lot of combos all in the high 11 to low 12 range. I’ve ran the 3500 stall before my buddy ran a 2500 stall with this cam and he dident run bad I think he pulled mid 12s with 10 to 1 Comp. x heads rpm intake. But he drove that for 30k miles all over the states and never complained and he only has 355 gears. And it wasn’t a dog that car really ran good and was a high preformance street car.
