Cam specs
By Royce Peterson - 04/21/2003 7:18:08 AM; IP 65.57.2.71
That cam would be considered daily driver material if it was in a 350 Chevy. You did not post the lobe displacement angle but generally the LDA can have some effect on power also. The engine being 428 cubic inches and the cam being very mild keeps the power band low.

For an FE a cam in that duration (230 at .050) generaly has at least .550" lift. Schneider is a very old cam company, the grind you describe sounds like something from the 1960's.

I don't know a good way to increase compression that much without changing pistons. Milling heads and intakes can have disastrous results if not done properly. Also the valve clearance will likely be a problem when you increase cam specs so the pistons might end up coming out anyway.
This thread, so far...
