The rpm ranges listed are lower than you will actually need. The big aftermarket companies do not account for the LT1 intake raising rpm range. Put it this way the bolton b-bodies with a 191/195 cam rev over 5600rpms but Lunati is listing that as the operating range of a cam 211/219.

Not saying it is a bad cam, just saying that piece of the information on it is misleading.

Far as using an aftermarket cam with stock converter and stock gearing, that would be extremely stupid. I say that having experience making exactly that mistake, no need for anyone else to repeat it.

If you think stall and gear are bad for driving try at least updating your knowledge to the 90s if not modern times, because thinking those are bad is 80s thinking.
