The cam I'm considering is:
Hydraulic roller
Advertised Duration: 280/288
Duration at 050: 228/236
Lift: .565/.565
LSA/ICL: 112/106

I can barely squeeze the Airgap under my hood but have to use a 1inch tall 11 inch diameter air cleaner. I'm not sure if that is enough flow for the 408. So I am considering going with a different (shorter) intake. Performer RPM, Weiand Stealth? The Vic Jr is a single plane which I've heard are less tolerant on the street.

Any comments?
Didn't I recommend a cam for you? Unless you want a pickup truck hp and torque curve, the duration is too short on that cam, and I would run more lift.

Rpm air gap or victor jr either one would work just fine.
