Sounds like your just going to run it at the dragstrip cause that cams WAY TO BIG for the street.

Sounds like it's going to be a wicked setup with not the best street manners - probably won't like anything below 2K rpms.

I doubt you'll be happy with that much camshaft. I've seen time & time again even 244/248 camshafts make less average power than the ms4 from 4500-6700. Not to mention you can drop 60' if you kill more & more bottom end looking for 1-2 peak hp.
