I was wondering how this cam would be on the street. I know it would be on the edge but doable?. How much compression would you need?

Isn't the 290B a solid cam?
I think your compression will not be adequate enough to run this cam effectively. Why not consider a Lunati ground by Harold at Lunati - the 255/263 ground on a 110 LSA would be a better fit. According to Harold if you are close to 10:1 the cam will respond well to a loose converter or 4 speed, headers and a large enough carb. There are alot of PY board members who have experience with this cam (255/263) and maybe they can give you some feedback also?

Greg Miller's 461/'66 Catalina went 8.0s in the 1/8th (4,250 lbs. without driver) with 3.55 gears and TH200-4R with this cam and 6X heads. It made 439 RWHP. Changing to E-heads (mildly ported), it made 479 RWHP (all on 93 octane).
Great cam, indeed! |

Not to create a pi$$in contest but.......To big a cam for the street or compression is an overworked theory.
I call it a........<span class="ev_code_RED">Urban Legend</span> I have been running & building lower compression engines with massive hyd, solids and rollers for years. It's all in the package.  Smaller cubic inch engine packages are more difficult to do though.

That Lunati cam screams!!! I replaced the Comp 290 with that Lunati, and even though I have not gotten it to the track, it feels like it has more torque. More responsive anyway.

I spoke with Steve at Lunati and he said I could get away with the 255/263 at 110 LSA as well. I might go with that one. Should sound mean!

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
