306 , stock block ,stock crank, edelbrock RPM heads , cobra intake ,eagle SIR rods , keith black .150 dome pistons . compression should be 11.1 with these heads ....I am looking at the X303 cam .....the springs on the heads are only rated to .575 lift so I didnt wanna push them right to their limit and I dont wanna spend 300 dollars on a cam either .....any suggestions ??? any ideas on how much HP this combo will put out? ....

I would try finding a cam about 220-230 @50 and around 525- 560 total lift. A custom would be best though.

I have a comp XE 274 HR that is slightly used if you are interested. I bought it for my 306 but decided to get a custom cam. Let me know
