Yes and I've commented on it several times, obvious mismatched combo.
REVERSION MONSTER.
It does not take 263/271 dur. @ .050 to make 502 HP with headers.
A single pattern UD solid flat 246 @ .050 will get it done.
Not an analysis on LSA.

467ci 9.5 to 1 OEM D-port headed engine in which we were running an Ultradyne Solid Flat Tappet cam with 263/271 dur. @ .050 on a 112 lobe sep, the engine made 502hp with 1 3/4" Hooker SC headers when we switched over to A-body Ram Air manifolds, peak hp dropped to 457hp and at 6000rpm we saw close to a 75hp drop, obviously this combo worked much better with headers, the reason being that this particular camshaft has a lot of overlap and needs the long primary tubes of a tubular header.
