273, could it be a commando and CAM question?

140/150 psi doesn't necessarily mean Commando...a small cam will build good pressure even with 2 barrel pistons, same as a big cam will bleed off cylinder pressure with high-squeeze pistons. Overlap has a great effect on cylinder pressure (psi). Big cams have more overlap than small cams.

Would a 340 cam with 268/276 duration and 429/444 lift be consider small in a 273 and help build that preassure? Because that is what I have now. Please educate me, Im really new to this with cams.

Without tearing it down you really will not know what you have.

If it runs good and strong, as the old saying goes, if its not broke don't fix it.

I just hope to come as close as possible without pulling everything at this point. At the same time I'm really interested to see if there is gain possibilities to be had. I have what is considered a sweet intake for a 273, I have the headers, carb, gears and converter. So Im now trying to find out if the 340 cam I have is the best choice I guess. Thanks!
