All true, but he said mild cam.
If you add something like a hotcam package or simular cam and keep the RPMs reasonable (6200-6300 RPMs) he chould make in the 320 HP range ( headers, TB , tune ) and not kill the motor.
From what I've seen it's when people start installing big cams that build far greater cylinder pressure and/or spinning stock bottom ends up above 6600 that you start seeing problems with bearing.

Also some advice do not put a 9" in or any other big rear end in untill you need it because you will actually loose RWHP and mph. I would do something like a cc503 its a little bigger then the hot cam and you can still use unported heads. try a search on both you will find plenty of info.
