Street - not Strip Build

Great Site! I have a '68 Cutlas Conv. orgi 350 & #5 heads. Heads are currently receiving 3-angle valve job, surfacing etc. Also just received Performer RPM intake and 750 cfm Edel carb. I would like to build "nicely" performing street cruiser. This car wont see the strip, but it will see lots of Hwy miles. I recently read an Edelbrock article "397 HP in and Olds 350" that peaked my interest. I am concerned that the cam might be to radical for my application. The cam (#7112) has duration @.50 of Int-224, Exh-234, and lift at valve of .496/.520. Anyone have any experience with this cam or thoughts? I'd like to get around 350 hp and still afford to drive it everyday, or am I dreaming?
