Reply to "Please define my engine's CAM Specs in lay terms for me."

FYI, since 1990 I've used the mentioned Ford/SVO A-341 hydraulic flat-tappet cam in a stock bore 351-C, aluminum SVO heads @ 10:1 CR & a tuner-Holley 700 carb, in place of a stock '72 cam, 4V iron heads & a 650 vac-sec Holley as-received, in our street car. The combo added about 100 bhp and subtracted 4 mpg fuel usage (now 21 mpg cruise @100mph-up). Still pulls at 160 mph.

Judicious use of throttle & clutch (especially in low) & 2nd needed when accelerating to avoid smoking 275-50x 15" Pirelli P-7 rear tires. A fine street setup but choose your battles carefully with newish sporty-cars that have turbos &/or 50% more power, cams & valves. My 115 lb wife regularly drives it & has no complaints about its manners.
