Are you stuck on the 041 cam? maybe step down to a smaller cam to move the torque curve where you want it.

Yes for now, the future is not here yet.
Lets say I Install the 041 cam with the dots both on 12 o'clock - "straight-up". Since the 041 cam is installed now, I will consider options on improvements that will gain some performance if there are any to be had. Maybe some day I will go back to the former cam but not now.
The question now is if I were to install the 1.6:1 rockers, with inexpensive rollers on them and maybe Rhoads variable lifters, what would be the performance gains on street use, if any?
Engine specs are thus: 376 hp factory, guess by me is as much as 428 hp with real air induction adds 35 hp plus headers and dual exhaust. I upgraded to the 041 cam already. It's never been dyno'd. It has a TH400 transmission with a B&M shift kit, Gear Vendors over under drive, and Herb Adams suspension all around with Koni shocks for handling. vFour wheel Disc Brakes and Posi-Traction. Lowered by two inches and race suspension. There are 3.23 gears in the rear end. At about 3000 rpm I run 80 mph in overdrive.
