I've included details on two 351C engine builds that seem to work well, just for comparison. Maybe the cam info will prove useful. Note that I believe all quoted horsepower and torque figures are at the flywheel, not the rear wheels:

Paul Rimov's 393hp/425ft 351C
Dan Jones helped Paul Rimov me set up his mildly built Cleveland with Aussi 2V heads, Performer intake and 725 Demon carb and it makes 393hp/425ft at 5700 rpm and 3800 rpm respectively. The Aussi 2v heads with a two plane manifold like a Performer lack the 4000rpm kick the 4v heads have but have a really long flat torque and horsepower curve right of idle. His engine is done at 5700 but that is due to his cam, exhaust and intake choice.

Measured compression is 10.25:1.

Cam is a custom grind made by Comp Cams:
Gross Lift .531/.531
Duration at .006 268/276
Valve Timing: Open Closed
Int 28 BTDC 60 ABDC
Ex 72 BBDC 24 ATDC

Installed at 106 ICL
Duration at 0.50 222 226
Lift 0.3060/0.3060
Lope Sep: 110

Chuck Engles 483hp/436tq 351C
I've also attached a build/dyno sheet from Chuck Engles which details his combination which seems to work quite well.
