Like I said it's not optimal by any stretch of the imagination but it will still move. I know a guy running low 11's with almost the identical combo (but using the TFS Stage 3 cam). I bet he doesn't have 6K in the entire car. He has a blast, its hard to argue with that.
I agree with you 400hp is 400hp no matter how its built, I was just suggesting the 306 since he was only looking to get 400hp, just a way to save 1500 bones. also remember his block is a 73 model, and these cams being suggested are roller. Unless hes got retro fit roller setup, but i didnt read that anywhere.
