Needing a cam size recommendation for a 470!

Compression be hanged.........you can put any cam you want in it, as long as you have the torque converter and gears to go with it.

Will it run better with more compression? Yep!

But me? First.......I would put some good cylinder heads on it.

Yup, I have dropped compression to gain GOOD airflow and made more power every time.

You can run the CR up and lose power because you kill airflow, or at least disturb it.

Can't beat a quality converter and the correct gears. Most guys don't have enough of either.
