Just a FYI but 4" bore x 4" stroke is a 402ci.

As for cam selection, what type of hot section will you have? Log, flipped stock manifolds, equal length primaries? Where do you want your redline to be? SC, EC or CC truck? Lots of variables.

I built a 4.03" bore x 4" stroke 427, except it measures 408. Comp specified my next cam to be 230-236, 115 lsa, with lift in the .577 neighborhood. It is supposed to peak at 6000 with my set up.

03 hit it on the head.. If you want the best performance, what kinda exhaust set up you going to use.. That will help determine what dur-lsa you need or would suite you best..

Ha, ya right.

Depending on what your goals are you could go a bit larger on the turbo. You say a 76mm but what A/R are you planning?
Based on the specs you posted in your first post that cam uses XER lobes, I am not to familiar with the new LSK lobes.
