As long as your wallet is open, how about forced induction!
In all seriousness, there is some good reading and product/services on branch o'keefe's site.
What kind of carburetor and what mods to it? While the Mikuni might be more complex than S&S, it is worth the effort of dialing it in, especially as it relates to throttle response which is not always represented on a dyno chart.

On the highway it's going to be doggy until you hit 80 mph...
Since you do your own work, it's easy and not so much money to try. It's too big for me but that's me, not necessarily you.
I've installed, in my humble opinion, too big a cam before (in my 442 convertible) and I know what it feels like and I wasn't happy. It was a big 455 but it got lazy with the cam until it hit 4000 rpm but an Olds can only spin to 5200 like a Harley so a cam that big just didn't make sense. Sounded good though. However, what I like and what you like are not necessarily the same!
One thing for sure, it'll sound awesome at idle.
I do love the sound of big cam. By the way this is a 238/242 cam on a 364ci motor that spins to 7000. That duration's a lot bigger in a 320 ci size motor that can only spin to 5500.

Sounds really good Joe! Reminds me of years ago going out to Miami Hollywood Speedway on Friday nights for him to run his Super Bee.

You'll like me and my buddy playing at Palm Beach with my Vette and his Super Bee.

lol don't know I'd call a 10.98 to a 10.99 a thrashing...
by the way, 10.81 now...
And in this race it wasn't even close after 125...
Sorry to take your thread off track THC.
I still think you'll be disappointed with those huge cams. I think the big motor if you can still get that deal would be the cheapest way to go to go really fast.
