thank you cnc-dude. my next question would be what kind of cam would be great for the street and give me the best of both worlds(street and strip)? i dont plan on taking the 292 past 5000 for obvious reasons. rotating assembly will be balanced with hd flywheel aftermarket harmonic balancer recondition stock rods and after market pistons.what would be the max rpm i can get out of the motor? mike
