what cam to go with in this solid roller BBC?

This is a 496 with the following:

-Dart Pro1 Aluminum heads 325cc
-Weiand Team G intake
-Holley HP 950cfm
-Crane Solid Roller .615"/.636" 245/254 110 lobe separation, Isky roller lifters, Comp Pro Magnum Rockers, Moroso

I was told this is a baby cam - what kind of cam should I go with, and how much horsepower gain can I expect from it?

Yeah that's pretty small, about a mild street cam in a 496 actually.

I assume this is a bracket racer, looking for 10.20s or so?

You probably need something in the 270-275 degree @ .050" range, probably .675" lift or so.

Actually, I am wanting 9's n/a out of it. Possible with a cam swap?

Depends on what the car weighs.

There's ALOT more in it, with a bigger cam, that's for sure.
