cam question

If you go read the old magazine articles that I wrote on my 505 inch dyno mule you'll see that the engine made 625 hp with a cross ram intake but picked up to over 800 hp with a ported super victor intake and a Dominator. Same basic shortblock, same identical Indy EZ heads. An out of the box cross ram is horrible. Evidently some guys know how to port them since some MW cars fly, but right out of the box they stink. Borrow a Super Victor intake and a Dominator carb and see the difference. Then you can figure out where to go from there.
