The 290 hp cam spec is the same lift/duration as the 350HP L79 327 cam in chevy II and vettes. Not sure of lsa since I didn't dig, just glanced. I had that cam in the 350 a buddy gave me that I slipped in the 63. Not a bad cam, sounded good at idle but not overly strong below 2500. That was with headers, intake and 600 holley. 4:10 gear short stepper is pretty light too.
