If it doesn't go 6.30's there's something wrong with it. Although, in my opinion, the heads are too big. Still should go better than 6.90's. Lee

In my opinion, yes. Or even a set of Dart 320's maybe. Mine has 290cc heads with 2.19 1.88 valves, 850 carb, bigger cam (lift), less compression, and has been 6.43 (1/8th) and 10.17 (1/4). Lee

I would consider going to a better brand of rocker like a crane,comp or scorpion ive seen those proform fail on less cam and spring pressure before.Just my .02

Hopefully gettin a 6.0 by summer!!

Heads are too big. I ran a set of Dart 325's on my 468 that had a little more cam in it and it didn't pick up much over the 781's. More I think because of weight. I always thought my combo would have been better suited by some bmf 310's or afr 305/315's.

Heads may be too big but they may kill enough bottom end to hook the thing. You've got a small tire, a lot of gear, and a 2.48 first gear ratio. Start saving for a glide! The engine combo sounds pretty stout. Like others said--if it hooks you should be 6.40 or better.

What's the duration @ .050 on both cams?

Also, what does the static compression work out to? My guess is around 11 or 11.5 to 1 at best.

I also agree the 345 runner heads are way too big, that coupled with low-ish compression and it's not gonna perform to it's potential, but should go 6.90's.

My old BMF 310 headed 461 bbc went as quick as 9.48 @ 141 and 5.95 in the 1/8 naturally aspirated at 3400 lbs.

Performance comes down to a well matched combination and your proposed deal is lacking in matched components.

compression 11 to 1
dougherbert 270/279 dur @.050
comp 274/284 dur @.050
