Gotta know the durations @0.050" lift. "Advertised" durations vary wildly and tell nothing about a cam's nature. With a stock converter, you really should keep duration @.050" below 220*. I had good results with a 214* @.050" cam and stock convertered C4. This combo will need some gear though. Stock 2.79s or 3.00s won't cut it, even with a cam this small and a car as light as a 72 Mav. SBFs just don't make much torque without a stroking.
Oh, and keep the lift as low as possible if you have stock rocker arms. The closer to .450" lift, the safer you will be. I have seen .470" lift pull stock studs. You also have to watch stock slot length, even with pedestal rockers.
