.480/230 cam in an 8.5 CR 360?

He seems pretty bent on using the cam, which is fine. It can be made to run really well leaving compression right where it is. The problem is, you cannot convince people of that. Yeah, it'll make more power with more compression, but I just bet it's not worth the extra money spent.
Richard Holdener basically say same thing from all of the dyno runs he's done the curve is gonna be pretty much the same just it's gonna be a little higher or lower overall depending on the cr.

.5 cr ain't gonna make much difference.
