I don't run that exact cam myself but the hyd roller cams in my cars are both similar. I do have a couple of customers who have used the Trick Flow cam. It makes good power but it is a little rougher idle than I prefer in a street car. I usually spread the lobes out to 112 for a street car rather than use the 108 centers. The Trick Flow cam can be tamed a bit if you use EFI (which I highly recommend) but even with a carb it would work. It will just be a little more "pro street" than I prefer but others might think it is perfect or even too tame as is.

Keep in mind the bigger the motor the better it is for the street. You can run a tighter converter and the motor will be more civil at 541 cubes than smaller. With a 541 a 3.23 or 3.55 is enough gear, and you can run a really tight converter for excelent street response.

I’m using the Trickflow cam in a 10 to 1 440 with ported sidewinder heads which are basically equivalent to a ported rpm.
I’m running it with a rpm intake and 850 Holley.
I’m very impressed with the cam. I went from a 230@050 .525 hydraulic roller on 112 lsa to the Trickflow cam.
It picked up a ton of power all the way through, even down low at 2500.
Before the swap the motor made 490hp@5200 553tq@4100.
Now it pulls hard to 6500 and by seat of the pants it gained 50-75hp.
It’s in a dodge ramcharger with 36” tires. It will roast them from a 30mph roll.

The 505/511 kits are just more user friendly. Usually fit without grinding other than the little notch off the oil pickup boss.
And a TF 240 or 270 is still small for even a 505.
I do agree a big b-body is heavy and can use some cubic inches.
A 535 with TF 270s would be interesting though if someone else wants to try it. 😃
I don’t think you would go wrong with any of the kits for a mild combo.

I am a big fan of the 470 combo on the street!

I run a 400 based 470 on 93 pump gas in my Belvedere. Small hydraulic roller, 440-1 heads, hooker headers, indy single 4 intake with a 4150 done up by Thumper.

Car has been 11.38 at 120 with a fully auto 727 (no manual valve body) and a turd of a converter. I drive this thing everywhere (been as far as a 2 hour round trip) and it is an awesome driver.

Just my two cents.

Same here, love my 470 and with standard port intake runners and the right cam they run high and hard and are a blast on the street and track......

I may have asked before but what converter were you running and rear gear..... Thanks

I dont see any reason that the bigger ports would need that much more gear.
My 500" pump gas motor was setup extremely mild just for street cruising, it had Eddy heads that were ported to max wedge size, I ran 10.69 at 124mph driving it to and from the track with 3.23 gears. These big motors don't need 4.10 gears in my opinion.

3.91 suregrip. Honestly no idea on converter.. seems to stall around 3500.

Well as an example we drive to and from the track and race in full street trim (3800lbs@line) with a mild 589ci 10:1CR motor 440-2 intake MW heads, small solid roller and carb, 2.1/8th>2.1/4" step TTI's, 29" tyres and 4.10 Dana. We trap@6200-ish, max power on our motor runs from 5500>5900rpm then tails off slightly and we have run 10.35@130 best and 1.43 60's to date.
If we had 3.23's we'd trap@5000 with slip and have terrible 60's, it would be a total dog in my opinion even with our 700ftlbs+.

Yeah, too tall of a gear and you stay in the converter going down the track. The entire combination has to work together.

There’s reasons but I see your point for a street driver. In my case I’m doing a 511” tf 270. With a 4 speed I have to ride the clutch out too far with tall gears. For guys wanting the best launch a tall gear isn’t the answer, although usually 3:73-4:30 probably wouldn’t see much change.
I do see your point as a tall gear is still going to et just fine and mph well.

I believe Cab tried different gears with his stroked Duster? I could be wrong so don’t quote me. Maybe he’ll chime in.

I did try 3:73, 3:91, 4:10 and 4:30 in my old pump gas Duster, it went as fast with the 3:73 as it did with the 4:30 but I'm sure it was limited on fuel volume at that time. I did switch gears in another mid 14 second 4 speed Duster years ago from 3:55 to 4:89 that made that car FEEL a lot faster, it wasn't
It ran 14:40 ET with the 3:55 and ran 14:20 with the 4:89 several weeks later, that was at the old LACR track in Palmdale, CA in the late summer going into Fall so the change in temps and humidity had to have some influence on those results
BTW, that 4 speed car would bog that stock 360 motor with both gear ratios
