If you want to hit closer to 400 a mild cam won't cut it, 23X/23X .59X/.59X 110-112 would be a very rough outline, fill in the 'X' s. Also I'm lowered, pretty low as you can see, and have ZERO clearence issues with the longtubes them selves, now my badly designed Y-Pipe, and deep tranny pan I do have issues with, but LT's tuck nicely.
