275 intake duration is not that much (if that is TOTAL duration). The lift makes no difference. What is your lobe separation? That plays a big role in idle quality, vacume, and low end torque. The range is usually between 106 degrees and 114 degrees. A lower number has lower vacume and rough idle, but a lot more *peak* torque and hp.

Unless you have really low lobe separation, I would think you would be fine for a street car.
