Guess it depends on what you are after. That 232* camshaft is almost a carbon copy of mine and it ran way better than anybody thought it would throughout the ranges with both manifolds. WAY BETTER.

My rig was 35HP better up top and from 4600 on it stretched out quickly. I looked at the sheets... I'll guess that stroker is going to be done with max HP around 5700 or so. Still going to be a solid runner with a good tune staying out of detonation.

Running a street car driving around town, I'd leave the RPM on that stroker, although, the arm would make a big difference in the lower end tq. Again, whatever you're after in the end.

I figure given almost hemi size displacement, that single plane would benefit up top, give it more rpm and make it more linear overall. That’s my view. I may be wrong.

I will work on the owner of this to switch cams and intake after 1st season of driving. That would really wake it up and take advantage of compression better.

He is in full whine mode now because he just paid for body, paint, interior, bumpers, wheels, tires and everything else basically. As usual he underestimated the cost by a lot.
