Here it is...

350 sbc. stock bottom end
750 holley carb
vortec heads
performer RPM intake
1.6:1 roller tip rockers
comp cam 268H cam n kit 224/230 at 0.050 0.477/0.480 lift 110 LSA
1 3/4" headers
CR is approx. 9.4:1

Current power numbers are...408hp at 5,800 and 430lb-ft at 3700

If compression was to be bumped up to 10-10.25 and a voodoo cam...something like
276/ 284, Lift .504/ .525 still with a 110 LSA... or...
284/292, Lift .525/.546 110 LSA was dropped in, would i see an increase in performance? or would it mostly hurt my setup. I feel like i could fit a larger cam in with a lil bit more CR to gain some more power. Thanks Josh

Those are really good numbers for your 350. I always thought a bigger cam+ more compresion=more hp.

I dont think 10.25 is going to be enough for eithe rof those voodoos, you might be able to pull of the 276 voodoo, but hte 268 voodoo i believe would be ideal.

Those are nice numbers, makes me feel good about my combo :D
