Why dont you look for a similar one on the comp cams website (or the exact one) to get an idea of the rpm range.

Comp Cams hydraulic flat tappet (not roller lifter) cam for SBC:

Xtreme Energy P/N 12-246-3 Grind # XE274H has these exact specs.
It is described as "Very strong mid range, torque and throttle response." It recommends a torque converter with a stall of 2200+ rpm. RPM operating range is 1800 to 6000.

I might not use it in a completely stock automatic with 2.73 gears, but if I had the 2200 or higher stall speed, a free flowing cat-back exhaust and maybe headers, it would probably work fairly well. You need to make sure you have the correct valve springs and push rods to go with it.

Does that information help, reivax?
