273 cam selection on Desktop Dyno

I don't have any port specs. I just chose pocket ported wedge heads with stock valve size from the dropdown box. I tried the Voodo 60400 and a Comp
number I didn't write down. I could get more HP and torque at a lower RPM
with a stock spec solid lifter cam than either of the hydraulics. Headers seem
to be the best improvement if I decide to install them and a stock spec roller cam is also a nice improvement but lots of $$$$/HP. toolman

Ok. That's surprising. I don't know much about the stock solid cam but it sounds like it must be pretty decent if it's better than modern stuff. How much porting have you had done to the heads? Headers do make a big improvement if you don't mind putting them on.
