I've done some very street oriented 482 engines. Built with an eye toward street manners - we did one recently for a Georgia ERA owner that had a very tame solid flat tappet, a Performer RPM with an 850, and some lightly tweaked Edelbrock heads. This motor made an honest 537HP on the dyno at 5700RPM, idled at 750 with a very light lope, and reportedly is running great around town. When it comes to making power and keeping street manners cubic inches are your best friend.
