    Cam ? Too big for my iron 5.7 build?

    http://www.performancetrucks.net/for...112lsa-493500/
    If someone could check the cam in the link and let me know what you think I'd appreciate it. This will be on an iron 5.7 with milled 241's with PRC double springs. Push rods I have are 7.425". Pistons are flat top ls1's. Converter is a PI 2800ish
    Thanks in advance!

    Stall around 3400? And some 7.3 rods? I might hold off on such a large cam then.

    To get the exact length pushrods you will need get a pushrod length tool. That will tell you exactly what length to get so there is no guessing of the base circle of the cam and how much is milled from the heads.
