Thanks for all the replies guys. Like I said, I'm gonna run it like that. Its within spec for a drag motor, so I guess it's OK. At least the mfr says it's OK so it must be!

Of course this is for a drag gasoline application, so I think Im gonna bump it up some with my cam choice...

Like I said it started out as a certain something, and it ended up going somplace else!

Right now its a stock stroke 440
10,5:1 compression
aluminum 440 source stealth heads with a bowl blend and port match
port matched performer RPM intake (I also have an edelbrock TM7 single plane)
bearing clearances are loose but still within spec (near 0.0030")
high volume oil pump
big sump oil pan
piston to wall is 0.0070"
full floating pins
forged pistons
stock 3.75" forged crank
LY rods with new arp bolts
I also have a set of 1.6 roller rocker arms

As you can see it' s more like an old school race engine based on the machining specs and parts.

So looking at that, Im kinda tempted to ditch that COMP cam I had bought http://www.summitracing.com/parts/CCA-CL21-225-4/ (which is basically an update on the old MP 292° ,509" hyd cam) and step up to a more serious cam given the engine is setup more like a race engine.

Also, ditch the exhaust manifolds and buy some nice TTI 2" primary headers....

What do you think?

This will go in a 71 4 speed cuda.
