You'd be hard pressed to have a naturally aspirated 292 pushing 270 hp to the ground. You'd end up using way too much cam and compression for the street. What are you building the engine for? If it's for street, then build the 292 for torque. That's what they are made for, and good at. If not, then your best bet would be to use a turbo. Even easier (and cheaper) than that would be to use nitrous. Just my thoughts. John
