    Whole lot more motor than you can use with an 8 inch tire regardless of what rockers you use.

    More like 750 if you do everything right.Carburetor is too small for a 415.You need a 950cfm.If you don't have a raised cam block,the small base circle cam will hurt you but 700hp is easy.

    You could use a few more degrees at. 050 and the lsa needs to be at least 108* for alcohol.Needs to be close to. 700 lift after lash with those heads.Don't know what intake your talking about.Its either a Victor Jr 2975 or a Super Victor 2925,can'be both but the Super Victor is better.
    The moral of this story is what I learned from an engine builder about 30 years ago.Pick you an engine builder you trust and listen to him.You can't take ideas from several different builders and mix them together.

    Your lift will be around .690 with 1.6 ,.050 duration numbers gain around 2 to 4 degrees.I would install it on 107 c/l or retard a few degrees.

    More like. 670-.665 at the valve.You will only gain close to 1 degree under the lift curve by going from 1.5 to 1.6 rockers.

    Call mullins. He'll sell you a cam that he uses.
