The LSA is 108,recommended ICL is 106. At least the MP catalogs that I have. If your trying to crutch a combo without enough converter,comp,gear,etc installing it a little earlier may help.I just pulled a customers 8.5 to 1 comp 360 with the 292 cam installed 2+ retarded,upped the comp 1 point,installed a shorter duration Ultradyne hyd and the customer is .

(3000 stall and 391's or better) I don't know why everybody is stuck on this. My 70 valiant with stock 77 shortblock, 509 cam, stock steel heads. 3500 chepo converter and 3.23 gears runs great on the street and on the track. 11.90's @115 first time out less than 3,500 in the whole car. It idles @ 900rpm in gear, and has gobs of low end grunt.
think how much better it'd run w/ the right convert gear and compression. or a better cam.

As was said that cam will rock & roll with the right combo behind it. It likes alot of quick ign advance and and the cam set in the 102 to 104 area. And of course you need the gear and converter to make it work. As for gas milage.............if you worry about that you are in the wrong hobby. Ron

the "instructions" that came with my narrow lda 509 said put it in straight up (108). i put it at 107.5. it's in a 3350# scamp, 496, 10.33:1, 4200 stall. the thing has huge power everywhere, and, yeah. it sounds bad ass! i couldn't be happier. btw, it runs 7.0 at a slow track on drag radials!
for what is the good life if not doing things thoughtfully?

I have this cam, Comp 292/299 .509/.509 in the 440 in my '69 Charger. The engines zero decked, Keith Black flat tops, Crane Gold race roller rockers, Edelbrock closed chamber heads, Torker I intake, Holley 870 Street Avenger, Rhoads lifters , etc etc.
It has a B&M 3200 converter and 3.55 gears.
The car flat out hauls ass, I don't get where the "no low end power" is coming from here . It launches hard and drives extremely well under 3000 rpm even with the 3.55 gears.
The only thing I don't like is the noisy Rhoads lifters, but they do help the cam out, 15-17" vaccum at idle ( I added a vaccum canistor where the battery used to be).
You don't like the Rhoads Lifters, take them out & suddenly you'll know where the "no low end power" comments are coming from... 15-17hg of vacuum.. of course it runs normal.. Try it with normal lifters where you start with 6hg after tuning you get 9-11hg...
