Do the pistons you currently have come up to the block deck enough to take advantage of the aussie quench zone?

How's that cam working for you? I just picked up a 400 that has the same cam. Haven't ran the motor yet so kinda looking for first hand experience of how you like the cam.

I have flats that sit roughly .040" down in the hole. I could change Pistons but I don't want to.

The cam is great. I love it. Very good torque and horsepower. Even with my somewhat low compression ratio in the mid 8-9 range, it gets fairly decent fuel milage. It has a noticeable idle compared to stock, but there is not a lope. Just a nice booming.
