I beg to differ, it's all about the complete build. We had a 340 (yes a stock stroke 340) on the street with a 267 @.050 cam, 11.5 compression, ported iron x heads and a tunnel ram with 750s, idled at 1000-1100 and was very streetable. He also had the appropriate 4.56 gears to make it drive the way it should. You are giving advice based off your experience with one car that obviously wasn't fully optimized but coming across as if you have years of experience with multiple successful builds.
