Ideal combo?

4 bolt 350, forged pistons, vortecs stock, upgraded springs
hot cam, 2200-2400 stall, gears maybe 3.42 ?
1 5/8 headers to single 3" pipe unless dual 2 1/2 is beneficial..

th700 with trans go shift kit.. stock DS

what can I expect out of this ?

The car is driven daily, looking for a nice street-strip combo..

Is the cam a good choice or could a bit bigger be better ?

I like the lumpy/missing Idle Idea but it has to be livable in traffic.

thx

The HOT cam is a very streetable cam. Remember, it was designed to be functional with the LT1 computer. HOT cam and vortecs are not a new combo. Do a search, there are a few members here who are running this combo with decent results.
