Yes, you are correct. Cam selection is due to lower compression and stock stall converter. You really have to look at the complete drivetrain. High RPM power can be achieved but you'll need higher compression, bigger rear gears and a higher stall converter. Typically, not budget friendly. 65'
Understood. As mentioned in the original post. I have 4.10 rear gears and a 6 speed. I don't need a lot of power to start with 300-400hp in the higher 6-7k range if possible to do on a budget or with stock parts would be the goal.
I know that closed chambered 302 heads could get the compression up and then throw in a thinner head gasket.
I am looking for a path at starting line that that I can follow to end goal, but enjoy the process of the build instead of an entire engine build and being done with it. If that makes sense.
I want to hot rod the car and find out what it takes step by step to get to the end goal from a stock engine.
