That advertised duration means nothing since different companies measure advertised different. What does the .050 spec of the cam look like?What do the heads flow? What is the compression?

Should spin a bit over 6000 RPM and may make 500ish HP.

No way 500 hp, subtract 100. For an SBC, too small a cam, too little compression, who knows about those heads and intake. Even if that head flowed well the cam is too small.

I did something similar a few years ago. 383, 233-241 @ .050 hyd flat tappet, AFR 195, 9.7 comp, RPM Air Gap, 850 Demon. It made 327 HP, 380 Ft-lbs, through a T56and open exhaust. It pulled to almost 7000. It was very pleasant in normal driving. I switched to a solid roller with about 10 more degrees. No dyno numbers but it feels better now but with a small loss in stop and go driving.
