I have been happy with my xe268 cam. With this cam in a 405 it is very civilized, but still performs well. As far as the heads go those two heads are kind of built for different reasons. The Dart Pro 1 would be more of a race or street/strip head for a 350 and the rpm is quite a bit smaller and most a daily driver street head. Dart also make a 180cc head that you might look at that is sized better for a mostly street 350. I have been happy with my ARFs and they make a 180 head that would also work well on a 350.
I have used BOTH of those heads on my motor. I kept upgrading
My Dart 215's flow just as well in the .300-.400 lift range as the RPM's but flow ALOT more when you get up into the .500-.600 range
If you have ANY Thoughts of upgrading down the road go with the Dart's
Just my opinion Everyone has one :D

Im really not looking to race the car but would be nice to go to the track and pull decent times. My main concern is light to light on the street with seat of the pants feeling. Would the xe 274 cam hurt my low too much even though i would be running 3:73 gears?
