The grunt of a well built 455 will show, Nitrous will soften that even more.

Its been a while since Ive checked the transmission , it actually may be a 13" torque converter and not a 10" but its a Continental Jim Hand special with a balloon plate for sure.
As for the cam , I already have the roller lifters ( Comp solids) Dave at SD said my heads have springs that are stiff enough and if I changed the locks I would have enough clearance for the lift of the OF II.
The Idea of a solid flat just came while I was installing and dialing the cam in my LS7, just liked the simplicity, street friendliness and no worries to fill the engine with little needle bearings once you read all the horror stories of roller lifters giving up the ghost in your engines... no composite or bronze dist gear needed etc etc...
But for my pontiac 461 the idea was to really go roller cam.... I have no problem getting a solid roller ground with the OF II specs in mind too.
