Yep, I used to take 440's on the street EVERY time with a low duration high lift cam in a 351C; duration at .050" was 192/200 with 114* LSA. That and s static CR in the low 10 range made the torque start early and with good breathing it extended up to over 6000 RPM. It would NOT be the maximal HP combo on the drag strip, but for the street, that is the ticket: moderate cam with as much lift as you can manage with as high a CR that you can manage will start the torque early, and good intake and port and exhaust flows will extend it to high RPM's.
