Default Good sized Cam?

Im rebuilding a 350 with 2.02 alunimum heads, headers, 10:25:1 compression cast pistons, and a 750 cfm holley. I need to know if a cam with a 268 degrees duration and 280 degrees of lift is just right for this engine combonition.

Are you looking for top end power or low end torque? It will give you a mild performance increase.

It will have some lope, but the more lope you have the less lowe end power you're going to make. You can get away with a slightly larger cam since you have a higher rear end ratio. Something that would also help are new roller rockers I don't know your budget, but just reduce friction.
