Yes,t he plan is to go with a different cam to bring the power back down in usuable rpms for the street once I know all the other parts are working correctly and I'm sure I don't have any other problems else where that are being overlooked.

Then I would wager a guess that 340 hp is right around where you should be if all the parts are working correctly. Unless you have noticed a real issue through something such as a missfire or a noise that shouldn't be there. Everything sounds about right for the results you'd see by dropping from a 383 to a 350 and changing from a 6 speed to an A4 as well as effectively chopping off around 500 rpm.

Was planning to go back and do a compression check and readjust the rockers to make sure there are no outstanding issues, if all checks out with a compression check before and after readjusting and the noisey valve train gets cured with no change in performance/drivability, then a new cam will be going in. Just didn't want to go thru a cam swap if there is an issue somewhere else.
Thanks for the info.
