with a 4cc flat top it would be in the 10.5:1 or higher range with a 58cc head. My last 333 with a Cobra intake made 380/404 to the tire on a MD done at 5400rpm...

Those numbers still seem low but Id guess youll pick up an honest 40hp, and loose a little tq...but it should carry power atleast another 800-1000rpm. Whats the basic .050" on that cam? I had a N61 in the past personally .544/,.568 228/232 110 if I remember correctly, My lil 302 made 340rwhp/tq on a Dynojet...made power up till 6300.

Make sure you have enough spring pressure....

its 226 234 @.050 520 528 lift ,the springs were only good to 550 that why i chose this cam , and when i pulled the lower off the gaskets were mis aligned by an 1/8 inch covering the port so that didnt help anything either .

It's the heads. Also explains the high torque number. It's real hard to make power with Patriot heads.

This is exactly what I was going to say. Those heads will hold it back pretty hard.
