Dart blocks, dart single plane intake, not sure on compression yet but possibly 10:1, hopefully lower though and Holley carb

Will the heads be ported and flowed? Out of the box they are questionable and need a little help. Don't get me wrong they are a fine head. I have them myself on 496's and will probably use them on my new 555's. There are a lot of off the shelf cams. Surprisingly howards has some pretty good choices over others. I'm looking at some 236/242-670/660 on a 112 that is similar cam valako is currently using in his 555 making 785 hp at 6,000.

I doubt head porting is in my budget.

I understand. Gellner Racing was pumping out 540's with your combo including out of the box 310 heads and a 244/248-640/648 on a 111. Pretty conservative package making a respectable 650 plus hp. If you'd like cam card pm me.

If Jim V is making nearly 800HP at at 6000 from a 555ci, with a shorter cam than a 525 EFI cam, I need to get on his program. I've seen full CNC ported 572/598 combos, with a ton more cam, barely make that power.

Actually 565. My bad.

Bob is not God, I learned that when my cams are horrible for my combo... 630 hp with a 540 and Afr heads with bobs cam... By far not impressive at all!

Call Bob Madera and have the cam build just for your needs.

Those cams are no where near big enough for that cube engine.

Wow that's a smaller cam then mine and I'm over 100 hp off!
