Now that you posted your et/mph, most responses will now be about 60ft times and converter, gear and tires. So, the question to you is: Is it about et for you, or about making more power (i.e. et and mph)?

It is a personal choice. Personally, I prefer making more power. In your case, this would have an end result of 13.2 @ 106 mph, verses 13.2 @ 102 mph, as an example.

So if it is power you seek, I think you are probably going down the right path. I think it might be helpful for the smart cam guys on here to know what your current cranking cylinder pressure is.

Finally, I would recommend a small solid cam, but you will need adjustable rockers. I think there is an undesirable risk with a fast rate hydraulic for you as the valve train seems to start giving it up too early, especially for a small block. And the slower ramp cams will cause a noticeable deterioration of the low speed characteristics of your small block. A solid flat tappet is the best of both worlds.
