    Because of your stall speed I would run a Comp. cam part #11-700-9.
    You have the comp. ratio to run a larger cam but not the stall speed.

    what about going to 4-7 swap cam do they really help that much?
    also what a preditor carb?
    I also learned that power is in the heads, The heads i have are casting# 3964290
    getting them ported and polished. larger valves also

    I also want to thank everyone for the input, like i say this motor was my first build, and just not sure of a lot of things i just started buying parts that i thought a good race motor should have. and i have learned alot since then. just wanted to get a little more out of it...
