Casaleenie;

I'm running a 351-W with an Edlebrock RPM Performer intake and Holley 600 cfm. carb, Iron heads,69 model,polished ported,gasket matched,bowls blended,1.90/1.60 valves,guides plates,full roller rocker arms. My cam is very close to yours in specs. Back in 1996 when I built this motor, Ford made the crate engine in 350hp and 385 hp,they have since dropped the 350 hp engine. I built mine using the specs for the crate 350hp engine,using the cam they recommended. The part number is 443941,Crane Cam,specs are as follows;

At .050,with 1.6 rocker arms;
intake lift at cam---.3027--total .484
exhaust at cam----.3200--total .512
duration intake is .216 at .050----or .272 at 0
duration exhaust is .228 at .050---or .284 at 0
lobe center is 107 intake and 117 exhaust.

This cam idles very smooth at 750 to 800 rpms,no lope,pulls like a frieght train thru 6000rpms.
I have a little over 17,000 miles on the engine and love it,a joy to drive in town in stop and go city traffic,but when needed if you step on it it will go.... I run 12.90s at the drag strip with a Tremec and 3.00 rear gear,that's in a 3300lb. Mustang. Gets good gas mileage and doesn't over heat,can sit and idle for 45 minutes at 180 degrees in 100 degree heat if needed,done soo in parades...

As you can see your cam has a little more lift and duration,but very close to mine,should be very "streetable" and fun to drive,not too wild and should love low rpms and city driving....and still run like hell if needed....
