comp cams 305h

alrite since the cam i had turned out to be too small for what i wanna do with my 406 ive been shopping aroun and like the sound of the coms cams magnum 305h my question is will my 406 rev up to 7 grand? i think it has the 5.7 rods i was also looking at the 292 series also but would like to run the 305 for alittle more cam its gunna be a race engine basically its got the keith black signature series race pistons as well.  

what kind/type of crank and rods are you using...are they capable of spinning 7000rpm?  

Stock cast not sure what kind of rpm they can handle  

You may want to go a forged crank. also upgrade to forged i-beam or even h-beams. Get them balanced to. Then you'll have a near bullet broof combo(anything can happen). Another option if you want rpm, destroke your 400 to a 377 with a aftermarket 350 crank with 400 mains. They scream. The cost can add up fast though.  

What kind of heads are using? Have they been modified in any way? Whats your compression[static or dynamic]? What type of intake and carb? Do you have headers?  

71 lt1 heads ported an polish keith black signatur seres piston about 10.5 ratio performer rpm air gap intake hooker super comp headers  

With a solid set-up like that I would you the 305myself. 6500rpm is prob closer to what you can expect out of the cam .  

Will my cast 400 crank and cast 5.7 rods rev to 6500?  

Will my cast 400 crank and cast 5.7 rods rev to 6500?  

Will my cast 400 crank and cast 5.7 rods rev to 6500?  

is the crank and rods new or are they used?

if used, have them checked (magnafluxed) and fully inspected by your machinist
if everything checks out they should be good for 6500 but not any more than that and not for sustained use...the machinist should also be able to give a recommnedation  

i'd go with the 292 cam.the heads you have have too little port volume to feed a 406 at 7000,no matter what has been done to them.with those heads,and the 292 cam,plus the intake,compression ratio,it would perform light years better,with great torque at low and mid range,plus that cam has a nasty idle as well.  

ok 292 it is also with this cam would it work good with 456 gears? i want to be able to lunch hella hard i got the m22 rockcrusher tranny doesnt have a good first gear for launchin really?  

it'll work good with that tranny and gears.  

thanx for the input cant wait to get this thing together
