I hate to step on Ronnie's thread like this, but since you asked, I have a fresh built 258" with a MAX-1 cam with Isky 185G springs, Mallory dual point, and Edmunds heads. You might call it "regular", but it ain't stock. It got away from me once and the tachometer "tell-tale" was pushed to 5500. The '51 Merc with similar mods in my '51 coupe is all done at 4500.
