Small block combo suggestions

AJ/Forms.
Cylinder pressure is 182 psi. Cold.
Higher than I remembered
Thanks.
Hmmm. That does not compute out with the info given for the build. (Assuming an XE-260 cam...) Is this a Magnum block? Or were the heads shaved a fair amount? Or is the cam advanced by a whole tooth?

I am coming up in the range of 155 psi. You would need an SCR of about 10.5:1 for that 182 psi pressure with a 260 range cam. Do you have access to another gauge?

BTW, the cam number given looks to be for a Chevy small block. Can you re-confirm that cam part number?
