292 comp cam
Relax Bobby. General questions get general answers.
I dont think the purple 2929/508 cam is to much for the street but do think it is not a good choice to use for a car that gets driven everyday around town to hot rod shows and hang outs. The design of it can make for a real nice street stomper and in an A body it'll getcha going mid to low 12's.
Having run one for a year (which is a long time for me) I can say it was a lot of fun. In the 3000+ rpm range where she turns on, it was a house on fire. Lighten up that A body as much as you can to take advantage of it, otherwise your really better off with a smaller cam.
In which, the Comp 292 is a little smaller, would work fine.
