I have a 360 A block with a crane 272-2 cam in it the motor has 10:1 static compression with match ported iron heads to a edelbrock rpm air gap manifold.On top i run a 650 holley street hp. The vehicle goes well but i have a comp 280 H sitting at home was just wondering if there would be much of a change if i went up to the 280h.. cheers daniel

I'd try it and throw a 750 DP on it as well :glasses7:

I agree, 750DP holley, the 280 cam degreed in with around 3° advance, and a 1" open spacer. Should pick up at least 25HP!
 
ok thanks was just curious as i went on the comp cams camquest and found a equivalent cam to the crane 272-2 and it come up with the crane producing more power than the comp 280 h. I only have 1.94 inlets and 1.60 exhaust valves, i dont know if that would make much difference? I also run a 2800 stall and 3.89 gears..
 
The intake valve size is fine. Going to a 2.02 valve may show a gain on the dyno, but, I'd bet you'd be hard pressed to feel it while driving.
Any head work done?
