Call Bob Madera "Marine Kinetics". He will get you going in the right direction. Really, really good person to deal with.

What rpm are you aiming for?? The lift numbers aren't crazy, but that's a lot of duration. You running dry tails? I'd think you would need 6k rpm's or more to get there.

That's a bummer man, oddly enough my lift numbers are similar, your exhaust is higher, your duration is higher by about 15 degrees too, but for 700 hp, I would think you would need more too, but I'm no expert on cams. This sounds like a cam I could have used in my mild 502 if I had dry tails instead of standard risers. If Bob told you it's to small, then it is. Good luck sorting it out.

So what did it make on the dyno???
