More lift doesnt mean less torque. Lift picks up hp...which is torque.
With the amount of air flow gained over stock...if there was any rpm shift of power, its more than made up for by the extra 40 cfm of intake port flow.
The cam was choosen to access the peak flow @.450 lift 'minus lash' yet keep the torque at a useable rpm with stock convertor and gears
This car pulls hard off the line and when passing on the freeway, it would be nice if you all who may question this could take a ride.
273 That feels more like a warmed 318....and sounds like a 340 with those flowmasters. Air flow and the right cam, simple as that :D
btw the compression ratio 'if i remember right' was dialed to 9.4 and the chambers are about 57cc's, then figure the head gasket.
