Default I had that combo (255-260 HP at wheels)

Crower 60240 is a smooth running cam but hard to dial in. I had to advance that cam 2 times to get any performance out of mine on a 389 (first 4 degrees and then 6 degrees advanced was just right).

It's strange because the cam supposedly comes with 4 degrees dialed in but if you go dot to dot it will be a dog. Must degree it on a wheel to verify.

You'll get 255-260 HP at the wheels with that cam, all done making power at 4800-5000 (but revs higher no problem). It makes about 325 HP at the flywheel x 20% loss or about 260....your compression ratio looks to be about 8.5:1 which is fine with that cam (and will run w/ no detonation worries on 87 or 89 all day long). I had 90cc small valve #11 heads and made decent power. Its a driver cam.
