The bigger motor would make a nicer street combo, but they would be pretty damn close.

Why do you ask?

My new solid roller stroker has the larger cam. I know someone who is running the XFI grind on a 350. When I considered the relative cam specs and thier respective cubic inches I couldn't help but wonder.
