If your going beehive springs anyway the extra lift won't hurt a thing . Lift is free and doesn't hurt drivablity . Duration and centerline have direct effects in driveability . You are in the right range with the cams . I built a very similar motor , 880 vortec block , l31 heads , forged flatops . 9.8 to1 , Hydraulic roller , 670 street avenger ( he didn't like the 600 edelbrock ) for a guy with a 57' chevy . The car had 3.70 9" 700r4 . Hotcam was to much for him . We tore it down and went ZZ4 . He loved it , just enough . This was a pleasure car for him . Me personnally , I like the big cams for a pleasure car , but a DD they get on my nerves . I would go ZZ4 or smaller depending on what you can put up with . This is for you to decide

For me lope is something that i have to tolerate to make the kind of power i want . It is out of neccesity not desire . I prefer a smooth idle , but to make alot of power you sometimes have to comprimise . 308Hp and 395 tq is no slouch in the danger mouse . That is useable street power . Test 7 & is impressive also , that's similar cam specs . All depends on what you can live with lope wise .
