Blake,

400 rwhp with just headers, cam, lid, and with good street manners is a mighty tall order. And you'll really want to go ahead and get some good valve train parts to support which ever cam you deicde on, your engine's livelyhood will depend on it.

What kind of use will your car see? Track only? Daily driver and track? Weekend cruiser and track?

I like my 224/224, it is streetable. From everything I have read with any cam swap a good set of springs/rods is pretty much a must. Spending alittle more time and money now can save alot of time and money later.
