All I was trying to get at is don't buy a sh!++% old cam. I subscribe to the theory that there is no such thing as too big of a cam/conv/gear. Of course this is the wrong forum for that, but I must explain where I come from.

I agree on the cam/conv/gear thing, but not that the 292 is a sh$$$ old cam. Ive known forphorty for a long time and his stuff runs hard...with hardly anything. Ask the all knowers if his stuff should run 12.30s with... gasp....3.23s...

The only reason I would disagree with that is there are better cams now. The lift on that is .501(?)...And with the bending and deflection of stuff, its under 500 lift.
Don't get me wrong, I've seen those cams work too.

A lot of guys optimize those MP cams to run better
times with the rest of the combo on the engine.
It's a hit or miss game, what could be the cam holding power back could actually be tuning problems, wrong intake, exhaust restrictions, too heavy car for combo, etc.
or visa-versa. EVERYTHING has to work together to produce good power!! And yes, not everybody wants to run an MP cam, there ARE many other choices.
