Feel like my 440 should be faster

Thought I did pretty good. This was supposed to be a budget build (lol yeah right) I almost left the stock pistons and many people recommended bumping it up at least to 9.0. So I got the speed pros. Then I contacted many cam manufacturers. Howard’s had a good reputation and recommended this cam for my motor, street car, 9.38:1 compression, 2500 stall. Think the cars going to get 3.73 or 3.91 gears and call it a day at this point. Sick of throwing money at it.

Re-read this. Do you see the plus symbols?

2500 and 9:1 are the bare minimum. You need more stall and more gear. That's what I would do.
