I don't think that it will make 600.

It'll make 550-580hp. And it should make over 500 ftlbs. The heads are a little big, and the cam is a little small. To make 600+ it would need a cam starting at around what you have for exhaust duration on the intake side, and 8-10 more on the exhaust.

I feel that the cam is to small to make much more.

The cam will probably hold it back ... guessing right around 600 H.P.

Is this build a 4.165x3.625 stroke or 4.03x3.875?
Is Jay Allen the guy they talk about on Yellow bullet?
Kinda think you are a little light on the duration.
Mike Jones would know if you can make those numbers with that duration and lift . He would need to know head flow rod length etc.

So what if you lose 10lb feet and gain 40hp

What's the application? You might want to run a thicker head gasket. I don't know why you guys run that so tight, there's no advantage other than the small gain in compression, with the risk of the piston smashing the head.

This cam would probably be a better choice ... unless it is a "driver" street car.
