I know mine will zing to 5500 right quick like. But it also has a ton of cylinder pressure.

the howards cam is a nice upgrade 250 duration lift 0.450 1200-5000 rpm range If you slap on a two barrel with this it would be a alot quicker.
I considered a Howard's cam when I got all the parts for mine. They had 2 to choose, don't remember details on specs. But I was looking at the smaller one.
On the thread title, I think a bigger (and power robbing) problem is that I discovered what member my68barracuda did, before I bought my parts/ the silvolite pistons are further in the hole at TDC than the stock pistons would have been. I didn't really think about it til I had it all together
Though I started with a bare block and crank, mine was a basket case that originally came to me with no rods or pistons.
I had my block cut 30 thou and IM STILL 180-thou in the hole at TDC. I don't want to dismantle the block again but I should, and take another 50 thou off the block deck.

Never flip anyhting. Always install the engine parts the way they are designed to be installed. The gain you would have" if any, would not be noticed!
