Curious about these statements. When I do the math, it calcs out to about a 9.6:1 Static/8.4:1 Dynamic compression. The In/Ex duration @ 224° seems mild given the larger displacement of the small-block (406 vs. 355). I see many, many recommendations for around 230° for a 400+ cube motor. The head port sizing does seem off but I tend to go smaller than what the typical magazine builds suggest. When I calc'd this combo out, it estimated 400hp @ 4800rpm. TQ should be more than that as it's a mild motor combo.
Just curious of what I'm not seeing/considering.
