That would be about the equivalent of an old 3/4 race grind. Back in the old days there were only about teo or maybe three grinds for each engine. 3/4 race ( whatever that means ) was the smallest, then full race, and then track grind. All would be fairly tame today except for the track grind which would be pretty "rumpy". A 260 deg. solid lifter cam would be about right for a street engine and would probably even pick up the low end torque a little. Stock cams are very mild. It might have a slight exhaust note. More like the when you start to slip the clutch and load the engine a little than a rough idle. The duration in degrees is what makes or breaks the low end torque. A lot of guys just talk about cams in regard to lift, but it's the duration that's important. The more duration you have, the more valve overlap ( when both valves are open at the same time ) you have. The reversion caused by this requires more rpm to overcome causing a loss in low end torque.
