Ok, im having trouble with my combo, Ive got a set of brodix IK200 heads on the way, from what ive heard the cam i chose is a little on the smal;l side for the heads and about the only intake that will work with the heads, Cam is a comp cams 08-432-8 hydraulic roller, and the intake i wanna run is a victor Jr because the heads are matched with a felpro 1206 intake gasket and the vic jr is the only one ive found the same so far. The specs on the cam i have are .510/.520 lift, 110LSA, 230-236 duration, 282-288 advertised duration, ive got the option to upgrade the cam(i work at a performance parts store LOL, im looking a 08-433-8, or 08-443-8 which step up would i benefit more from, thanks for reading please let me know ASAP

 

I'm hoping that this combo is mostly for the strip not street. The 200cc heads are almost too big for 355 cubes unless it is 10-11:1 C/R and spun really fast. Tall gears will be a must with that head and intake on a 355.
For the strip only, I would use the 08-444-8 with 11:1. If I was going to try to run it some on the street I would go with the 08-433-8 and 10-10.5:1. Of course the stall converter recommended for each put behind it.
(the previous is only an OHpinion, and we know what they say about those...)

 

its going to spend alot of time on the strip, buit its also going to see a little bit of street time, do you know of any other intake that isnt as big as the Vic Jr, but still uses a 1206 intake gasket, il probaly go with the 08-433-8, i talked to brodix before ordering the heads and they said the IK200's would be a good head for it and i know many people also running them. and for a set i only paid $1100 canadian, but im also going to try and street drive it, so another thing i was thinking could i run a 1.6 rocker since i havnt bought the 1.5's yet?

 

Have you run the C/R numbers yet, and what fuel are you planning to run? I am biased against 1.6's, someone else will have to weigh in. I think they will make the "heavy roller lifter" valve float problem even worse. The Vic Jr's rpm band will make more HP with the 200 heads than others. A dual plane would be better suited to 180-190s on a 350. Think gears and rpm and fun at the strip.

 

yeah ive never liked the 1.6's either, comp is like 9.7:1 but im going to probaly deck the heads, and run a thinner head gasket to try and get it up to about 10.5:1, im going to be running 3.73's if i try to use my 10bolt but i will run 4.10's if i buy a 12 bolt, i seriously want to run the 08-443-8, deck the heads to get it to about 10.5:1, victor Jr, about a 3200 stall and a 750DP, what you think

 

Sounds like a potent combo. Let us know how streetable it is.
You can always try a different manifold later.
