That cam was .625 lift and
[email protected] on a 110 lsa as I remember. It was spec'd for a Victor single plane with a 1000 cfm throttle body. 10:1 406 with iron heads, made 480 rwhp and 480 rwtq.
Probably more cam than it should have had, but it ran great. I had the 2 3/16" throttle blades, and they were too small, still had 2-3" of vacuum at WOT.
240's on a big block is fairly mild, but it should run great. Depends on your power goals, and what the car is going to be used for. The IR setup adds a bunch of torque down low, so you're not going to give up low rpm power. I picked up 30 ft.lbs down low over the single plane, and the same HP. Also the cam sound was completely different; the single plane was pretty choppy, great sound. The IR setup was much milder, sounded like a small street/strip cam. So a big block with a small cam might not have much chop if that's an issue for you.
