As long as you have the springs to support the lift, it would scream in a 370. Enough chop at idle to let people know that you're not stock but still have good enough street manners for a daily driver. If it wasn't for the overlap I'd keep it. My blower is going to have a hard time feeding my engine as it is, so every degree of overlap counts in my setup.

Your springs will more than do the job for this cam...by a good DD cam I mean one that doesn't surge as you slow to a stop, hesitate on a take off or die at a red light. Alot of those issues can be tuned out anyway if your tuner is good. This cam shouldn't give you any of these issues in a 370+ engine. Put this in a 4.8 and then you might have problems or a 1200rpm idle
