Like that cam you are using just little more lift which is nice
not sure on the bore and stroke but will check i was told it was 588
putting brand new Brodix 327 BB3 Extra 400 @ 6000
Max 6000
know i probably don't need larger but love the sound big cam.
think the new heads will pick up torque versus the old Merlin Cast Heads
Any more input much appreciated.

Those heads flow great at 0.600. Could make great power with mild lift.
