I used to use the Crane 278 HMV as the go to cam in 10-1 400 engines. 222/234@ .050. .467”/.494” lift, 114 LSA. The catalog said lopey idle but that wasn’t the case. Don’t pay attention to cam company literature.
Smooth idle in gear with a stock torque converter, drives like stock and would run up to 5500. Easy mid to low 13 second cam in stock late 60’s 400’s thru manifolds on street radials. I think one of the Summit cams is pretty close to those specs and should run virtually the same.
