brian crower stage 2 n/a cams seem to work great in our engines, if you were to do that id also do valve springs and retainers, you might be better off getting a novi 1200 instead and running more boost. Thats what id do anyways
I'm also looking into adjustable cams.. would it be more bang for the buck to just do camgears or would it have no comparison to full camshafts?
MORE BOOST IS YOUR BEST BET. anything spent on other stuff will pale in comparison to more boost, especially since you have a built low compression block already.

Yes, build that blower up with the best trim for the most cfm and get the high speed bearing kit so you can spin it faster. Look up what Sideways has done with his VT blower and follow his lead. He is over 500whp with a 9:1 comp motor.

Ok, I'm going to say it's either belt slip and/or your lower comp motor yielding lower boost #'s.
You may want to run a compression check on the motor if you don't know the full history on it.
