Heres my setup, 96 4 bolt main 350, flat top pistons, new rings/bearings/seals/gaskets etc, 1.6 rocker arms, mildly ported vortec heads, valve springs rated @ like 550, 52mm TB, airfoil, stock TPI system, EGR valve was deleted, smog pump deleted, 19# injectors @ 53psi of fuel, walbro 255 intank fuel pump, msd ignition coil, msd dizzy cap/rotor, 160degree stat, shorty headers, 3200 stall converter, shift kit, 2.73 gears, 2.5"downpipe, 3" borla exhaust, 700r4 rebuilt tranny, lighter transmission governor!
these are the specs of the cam:
Duration @ .006 tappet lift 264/269
Gross valve lift .488/.495 with the 1.6 rocker arms its like ~510
Duration @ .050 212/218

Hell, you should be able to rec the **** out of it till it falls out on its face, the TPI mwont let you go much further than 5k rpm. Kina dont have a option, i bet it is about 5250ish, 5500 maybe.
Get it on the dyno and see when it stops making power. With no dyno tuning mine is shifted at 7k and not falling on its face.
Id go to at least a 3.42 gear pretty much all stalls like at least a 3.42 or 3.73 to really work well.
