Help with cam choice for magnum 360 please

With that much compression you need at least 236@ .050 on a 110lca. You need to keep cranking compression around 180 or so to be pump gas compatable.
I would need to know more about the engine and intake/exhaust but you need more cam for that compression.

Thanks for your reply, I've heard that about 236 @ .050" before somewhere... ;)

Intake will be an air gap rpm with 650 carb, on hand now, fuel injection in the future. Exhaust will be Hooker Super Comp headers on an existing 2.5" X-pipe system, all the way to the tail pipe, with dual Flowmasters and layson rectangular tips.

Looking at a re-grind roller cam and can get the duration to be up around 230 no problem. What do you think about a bit more intake than exhaust lift Brian?

Also, to keep cranking compression lower, should I be looking at cams with higher overlap?
