273 warm up!

Toolman, I would like your opinion. I am looking to wake my Commando up a bit. Headers, performer intake and a 625 Carter are in the mix. My questions is the cam. Your comments got me thinking. I want a modern hydraulic vs the stock solid (less adjustments and modern tech). The heads are gasket ported to the largenport gasket and cleaned up in the bowl. What would you reccomend for a cam to get me 1 hp per cube and some better drivability?
Wake up a bit and 1 hp/cubic inch really don't belong in the same sentence. You need more compression to start with. Probably a bigger carb too. I would keep a solid lifter cam too. You could start with the recipe that the 66 D Darts used. They were rated at 275 horse. They had 10.5/1 compression., (Probably more if the truth be known) , headers, 700 cfm Holley, open plenum intake, a .495/.505 284 degree solid lifter cam with 300# open pressure Springs. They used a 4 speed and 486 rear gear. The build was not a streeter by any means. With your low compression 2 barrel, it is so easy to over cam it. It would be best to just stick with some tried and true bolt ons.
