I think this will be close...

My soon-to-be setup:

350, rebuilt
New Vortec Heads, stock valves/ports
GMPP Roller Cam 234/242 .539/.558, Roller Tip Rockers
Single Plain Performer Intake
Edelbrock 600 carb
Custom 3" exhaust
TH350, 3000 stall,spooled 3.42 rear, slicks

vs. my friends IROC:

old 350
Vortec Heads, Light Porting, Bigger valves

close race, but I think you've got him. Just get a good '60 and it's yours.

the guides are too tall and will contact the spring retainer just above .480 lift I don't know what max flow is at but, .500 sounds about right
