Thanks Tom. For some reason I couldn't find your cams when I looked before posting. There is no rpm range in the description of that cam. Do you know it?

This is for the decades old 292 build that is now necessary. It is a truck engine and will have GM TBI. Possibly a turbo later so Ill need forged pistons also. The turbo will be the '81 firebird draw through setup that I have. Because of the low/mid rpm range I'm wondering about head work. I have a set of lumps and roller rockers. Are stock valves big enough? What of compression? I may nee d a different head if I add the turbo and that's not a problem. It seems most of the build info is for race or hot street engines. I'm looking for a gas Cummins.

The truck will be for hauling and towing. We live on a steep 4 mile pull the last 2 dirt. In some spots the rpm will be around 1000 or even a little less. Your thoughts please.
