Without knowing what the rest of the combination is, I don’t know that you could gauge street manors very easy by looking at dyno chart. The gears and the weight of the car make a difference too.

Decent street manors to me can have some roughness to the idle, engine can have some lope sitting at a stop light, but clears up immediately off idle, with enough torque that on a manual transmission your not slipping the clutch to get the car rolling, and you don’t need to change gears to a lower gear to pull the load at part throttle. Or in a nut shell…can my wife drive it

I was mostly gauging the street manors in my comments by the cams overlap. The 702 is between the XE256 and XE262 for overlap. With 8:1 of less compression in a 350, much over 50* of overlap with those voodoo and XE cams the idle will start to get snotty, and loose quite a bit of bottom end power in trade for HP. If you were after stock type manors, those cams are probably one step big.
