The cam is a bit tame also -- but only if horsepower is a key goal. At 230 @.050 it will have a bit of a lope at idle but would be pretty easy to drive on the street overall. I have slightly more duration and lift in my cam with 459 cubes, steel heads, dual 600 Holleys, and a little less compression. My motor made 485 hp @ 5400. In a bit smaller engine I would guess your peak is also somewhere around 5400 to 5500 rpm. That leaves quite a bit of room if you want more power. A bit bigger cam and carb would probably perk the engine up considerably.
