I have heard great things about the xe256h but was wondering about how mild it seems. i was thinking the xe262h. Would this be too radical for a street driven car. Probably gonna have headers,2.5inch exaust, 3.55 posi gears, and a 2200??? stall(would this be an ok choice?).
I dug up this old post and it seems at would be ok according to them:
"Here's the specs as I have written down:
69 350 +30
216/218 454/480 Crane 272-2?
Stock rebuilt #47 heads
Edelbrock performer
Holley 600cfm
3 tube headers
2400 stall
stock th350
3.55 posi
Car weighed 3500# and went 13.82@98
I will call Jaqtec and have him double check on what I listed above.

Shotgun has my old combo right. My car was fine on pump gas...I did run premium. You don't need no stinkin' 400 to run 13's!!! Shotgun was almost in the 13's with his 301 powered car! It's all in the whole combination! I'd recommend not dumping a ton of $ in the heads...the 350 can only pump so much air anyway. Put a cam similar to what I had...a 600-700 CFM carb, and get some 3.55, or 3.73 gears...performer intake...and have fun!!!"

---the 262 seems to have similar numbers to the crane mentioned
