Im using the header to draw the air into the engine, something you might want to consider doing. If you cant spin the engine to 7400 without problem, simply dont do it. Try to make more power in your usable RPM. I myself if I was in your shoes would keep your current lobes, or even go smaller or softer, then build a small set of headers. The engine still might sign off at 7200, but who cares. Try to make more power and TQ down low and in the mid range. Usually in our Stock combinations we dont have the cylinder heads to support high RPM anyways.

I'm not the tech expert that many on this forum are. For consideration sake, I'd explore this avenue. I bought some parts in Ohio from a guy that runs in I/SA, yes, it's a sbc. He told us he was running a real aggressive, big cam. After talking with people running similar combinations. He found that changing to a smaller cam, different headers, his car actually picked up. Food for thought. I'm finding stock to be much more challenging than running brackets. I don't even have a car ready for the track yet!
