It will take a cam in the 250s duration to make that kinda power and i dont think anyone of you guys have drive a cam like that on the street.
Not trying to knock on you because your right that a 402/408 will make more power while being more streetable with the same cam and heads, but you can build a stock ci longblock for less than a 402/408 shortblock. I don't think the OP will really care about 35 hp when it comes down to the savings of staying stock ci. If you have the $$, definitely go 402/408, but I think staying stock ci is more than enough to make a 10 second streetable car.
