Anyway, I think the XE262 is too mild for this application. I'm running rather short tires of less than 26" with the 3.23 ring. I currently have a hotter cam (summit k6901) in my very low compression 360 and that has good enough street manners.
I'm thinking the XE268 would be as low as I would go. I might stick with the purpleshaft even. Its not really a daily driver car anyway.
actually, advertised, your cam is a lot bigger, but .050 numbers are about the same as an XE262 (218/224 for t, 218/228 for yours). .2" lift will probably be much higher for the XE262 or the voodoo, making the total area under the curve much higher for more power, while the shorter advertised duration and corresponding earlier intake valve close point will help with cylinder pressure and torque.
personally, I think most people tend to over cam their motors. big car, tall gears, I would stick with my recommendations, or at the very most go with an XE268. my old XE262 equipped 360 made great power from ~1800 RPM to ~5500, and pulled my 3950 lb 5th ave with authority.
