| I've got a motor which is a 350 with 240292 turbo heads and i started it up on the floor hooked water up to it and ran for a while it held 70 plus oil pressure. I took the cam out to check number on it and found out it was a 327 350hp cam with a 440 lift. What cam would be best to run and get the most power from the heads? And i check the cylinder psi and got 155psi in each hole what would my compression ratio be? |

| I would call Comp Cams and tell em you want a custom ground cam for your application. That is the best surefire way to get what you want. |

I agree with ChevyMan on that.
As far as comp ratio goes, there's no way to tell you with the informaiton you've given us. This all depends upon the pistons, the heads, the thickness of the head gaskets, etc. Compression ratio is the ratio between the volume of the cylinder and combustion chamber when the piston is at the bottom of its stroke, and the volume of the combustion chamber when the piston is at the top of its stroke.
