Default Am I leaving HP on the table??


I’m trying to finish a pair of tall deck 615’s ASAP. I bought these cams because initially I was going keep wet exhaust. But the long tails won’t fit this transom without major surgery. Ordering dry tails now and thinking I should rethink the cams. Running dart 325’s with profiler sniper intakes and 1050 dominators.
CR should end up at 9.75
Any ideas would be much appreciated.

I was thinking they might not be enough, I’ve had to change direction a couple times, the lockdown in March made getting some parts slow.
My GM bow tie blocks got canceled so I went to Brodix. So now I have gen 4 blocks and gen 6 cams/timing chains. I think gen 6 cams are compatible as long as I have gen 6 timing chains.

I swapped 741 cams to 651s on 565 NA motors and really woke it up. I would think what Ken suggested above is a great starting place.

The cam you posted would be best for a 502-540 ci. I think you need significantly more cam for 615ci.

Way too small, definately go bigger otherwise your mmotor will peak just over 5000 rpms

You might want to think about the getting the heads ported. The Dart 325's are a bit small for your combination.
