Solid Lifter Cam

OK, here we go. My son And I recently rebuilt my 1970 340, about 2000 miles on it now, cam bearings were shot. The engine had 46k miles on it, all new bearings, freeze and block plugs and rings. There was no ridge in the cylinders so I dingle balled them, had some IMM Indy X heads, used some Crane adjustable ductile rockers, port matched the Edelbrock RPM Air Gap with a 650 Edelbrock carb, 800 AVS 2 waiting to be put on. It has a Lunati Voodoo cam, 226/234 @ .050, 494 Intake and 513 exhaust lift, and has Doug's headers. The bottom end is stock, and I have a Hughes 2500 converter in a 727 which I am going to change to a better one with higher stall. I don't know the compression, but I figure high 9's, I can get a gauge and find out. It has 3.55 gears with 28 inch tires. It runs good But I feel like I left some power on the table with my choice of cam, I'm wanting a solid cam and better converter, I'm not chasing power numbers but the more the better, it's a daily driver that is not driven every day! any recommendations? Thanks for any help given, Jeff.
I feel that you’re caught in the middle some and if you’re looking for more at this point, IMO, you have tipped over into the next set of gear, everything drivetrain wise. You could, as of right now, use more stall and on a cam change I’d look for a cam on a 108 LSA, duration of about 6-8*’s more and then adjust the converter.

Problem is…. Solid cams aren’t readily found in that duration area. The converters re-stalling is expensive and we did t get to the gears yet which is the “Other thing” that will show a bug improvement.

Let me illustrate what I would step up to doing from your combo;

750 or that 800 Carter carb, 3200 converter, 3.90’s and the cam below;

This would cruise just about anywhere and do it easy w/reasonable mileage and have very good street power.
It’s also an engine build that I’m gather parts for right now.
