There have been a lot of different posts on carb size.I will assume you mean 444 lift and 266 duration.The cam close to those specs. has a power band of 2,000 to 5,000. In a 400 depending on where you have the cam installed you can take 300- to 400 off the power band.We can say you will be out of power by 5,000 or maybe a little more.I would go to
