Might be thinking the cam is not optimal.

It is a 440 Small block with W9 heads, 4.125 bore and stroke. 727 trans with 3.92 rear gears. 9:1 compression. Heads are being redone and flow should increase a bit.

Head flow numbers are

.100"--76.5/N/A

.200"--145.0/113.1

.300"--204.8/167.6

.400"--261.1/215.7

.450"--283.3/227.9

.500"--306.8/236.1

.550"--319.4/240.9

.600"--337.4/245.3

.650"--348.2/248.4

.700"--353.1/251.2

255 / 263 @.050 668 / 668 lift on a 110. Calculates out to be 39 degree overlap.

I dont know if the rpms are ok for you now or if you
want some more.. but the lift needs about .080- .100
more for your heads.. and I assume you will spray it
now and then

I was shifting at about 7k before, but I think that was to high, should have probably taken it to 6k.

Should it have more overlap?

Not if you spray once in a while
