My cam is very much like Phil's (245/252, .631/.650 lift), popular middle of the road cam for a 482. I've always maintained that it's just about perfect for me, but I've always thought maybe just a touch more would have been even better.

The cam chosen for this 496 project should be nearing the radical side of the scale with almost .800 lift. What is the intended use of this engine and Cobra?
