I did some CCing of the chamber and of the piston. I got about 92cc for the head and 20cc for the piston dome. Looks like the CR works out to about 9.8:1 according to Diamond's calculator. I am somewhat relived that it's not as high I originally thought.

I measured the lobe lift of the cam and it's exactly .350. With a rocker ratio of 1.5:1 I get a valve lift of .525.

I really don't know what I should look for in a new cam. Something with similar lift should be good with the current springs. This is a street driven Bee with a Team G intake and a 750 dominator and large long tube headers. It has 4.88 gears and a 33" tire. The car would pull hard in the higher rpms but was sluggish off the line. Seemed to lack some torque down low. The intake and carb contribute to that. I would like to find a cam that will help with low end torque.
