I'd have run more compression, especially with that big cam. The IVC is pretty late at 75 ABDC. That only gives you 8.06 DCR which leaves a lot of room for improvement, AFAIK. I'm running 11.5:1 in a 355 with a slightly smaller xfi grind and getting 8.7:1 DCR. DCR isn't the end all be all, but just the first thing I noticed. I'd like to see how the superram helps you out. Did you get the beehive 918 springs? There's a guy running that cam in a 396 running low 11's. He loves it.
