Wow that's a big *** cam Yea I would be worried about ptv with milled heads, and I don't think .4-.5 compression jump is going to make that big of a difference when you throw a 200 shot at it lol

^^^ what he said .I'm just curious how far I can push the 6.0 before I need to go bigger. For the money and small gain I don't see it being worth the headache. Especially since ill just go bigger down the road, Just means more cash to put away save for the procharger or nitrous build. I think a built 408 with goodies will do whatever I want it to do so ill find some cheap 243 and put it together.

Why does everybody think a cam this size is big. I used to have a 251/267 .624.624 that was going to go in a 408. Yeah the extra cubes helps but still that was a good size cam

The cam came out of a vette with dart 205 heads and ran strong as hell. That was a 5.7 I think a 6.0 will do great.
