I would go with something with at least an .852 lift and about .372 duration on a 118 LSA, also I would run it on a 112 intake centerline and advance it 14-18 degrees. Now thats only if you going to be spraying a 400hp fogger. But first I would more than likley post this in the engine section so everyone can have a go at it......LOL.

.852 lift? You crazy. A 350 is not a big block. That thing probably wont even fit it's so big. Not to mention I can't even think of any smallblock heads that would be able to take such lift.

You can cut the sarcasm in that post with a knife.

Need more info, just 350 and SC doesnt do it. What else? Heads? Intake? Exhaust?

What is your desired RPM band?
What transmission is behind it?
Stall speed on the converter if automatic?
Rear gear ratio?
Which AFR heads do you have planned?
Which year 350 is it?
Do you want to upgrade to retrofit roller if it's not a factory roller?
Do you mind do lash settings on it every oil change? (solid cam?)
What size headers are on the motor?

Keep going, that's not nearly enough info to give anything better than a wild shot in the dark, such as ".852" lift, 317* duration, etc".
