Not my first choice of cam for what your application is but not a bad one.

I ran this on Camquest program with headers, high flow dual plane and 660 carb and came up with.

357 hp 442 tq.

To get to 400 hp bigger cylinder head ports will be needed or bigger cam. Pocket porting brought it up to

375 hp 448 tq.

What you've got will make a great truck engine.
