Olddog is spot on. I would say good idle & gobs of torque. A good pic for a street engine. Talk to an experienced builder & be realistic with what you are going to do with the car. I had Pops Performance build me a 385 series based monster stroker & I thought the cam wasn't enough but was wrong. 228-238 duration, 590-614 lift. I got 637 pounds of torque at 2700 rpm. Pulls like a missle up to 5500 rpm. Couldn't have asked for a better street monster & perfect cam selection for my application- a street terror. I have the dyno results posted under another thread titled "521 torque monster". (or something like that). Anyway, talk to an actual builder.
That's my .02
