A 232/241 isn't a small cam by any means either. Bigger cams don't always equal more power. As far as the heads go, 243 castings are well sought after and damn good in the hands of someone who knows what they're doing. They can move some serious air.
408's aren't lucky to hit and go beyond 500rwhp. It's the people who skimp on their head and intake selection and throw in some giant mis-matched cam that struggle to make or break 500rwhp. |
Never said it wasnt doable, far from that. I'm just thinking that the average Joe built engine is not always a 500rwhp one. It takes a really good piles of nicely matched parts to get there. I would just have to see the dyno before believing and buying.
I know bigger cams doesnt ALWAYS mean more power, but theres a bunch of plp running bigger cam than this in their stock cube LS1. That was my point. If I would build a 383 stroker, I would go bigger cam wise. Hell my next cam in my LS1 will bigger without beeing the biggest available!!
