It looks to be low compression so that would be a decent Cam. We ussually run a bigger Cam but our D1 motors are atleast 10-1 compression.

The DCR is low with 9-1 compression. A bigger Cam can drop the SCR more so your good with the Cam listed. If your looking for more power get the compression higher. 9-1 is turbo territory. The centrificals like a higher compression ussually.

I would go a little bigger. I think you'll be leaving a lot on the table using that cam.

I would get 80's from the get go. You should be in the 16-18psi range with that pulley. I have a -12cc dished piston with a 243 head on my 370. Target compression is 9.5:1. I also think your leaving a little on the table with your cam. It'll work for sure but I'd go with something more in the 232/236 range on a 114/115 lsa. I have a pretty aggressive cam for my new combo.
