165 is great! for torque, but it won't get anywhere near 350/400 horsepower with a 208 cam.
But, the 208*cam will make great torque even at 9/1 and 1565 ft elevation.
OK scratch "great" . At 165psi it's great. At 145 not so much
It may not hit 350 gross hp,but it would be closer than you might think. Remember the stock (crate motor) engine was rated at 300. EQ heads, cam, .5 increase in compression on mine. It would not surprise me if it was 335 or 340. Doesn't matter as it is the torque I was after with my build.
