Lopey to me may not be the same as it is to you. I've only owned comp cam's 110 sep. cams. I'd guess quite lopey for a street car and o.k., but not great for vacuum assist brakes.

Don't you have webers?
The cam will not be as lopey with a IR induction setup.

OK heres my guess....Pretty Lopey with about 10" of vacuum or less. MAybe 8".
You have aftermarket heads right?
Why all the extra exhuast duration?
On a street car with full exhaust, I doubt you will see any significant gains over a straight 238 @ .050 cam, except for worse idle characteristics.
Overlap is what makes the engine idle rough.
Everything is a trade. A 238 @ .050 with a 110 LDA will idle better, but make les midrange than a identical 108 LDA camTry this link for overlap info
