Naa, you don't want to build the engine around the cam, that hides the cams inabilities. You build the cam around the engine and lets see who's ideas work the best.
You just build the most basic 455 that you see in here all the time. Just a simple 10:1 pump gas motor with decent aluminum heads and dual plane intake.
Then throw in all these cams that everyone boasts about, the 041, 068, old faithful, and then mix it up with 4 or 5 custom grinds from Comp, Ultradyne, Bullet, Straub etc....
5 off the shelf cams mixed up with 5 custom grinds. Maybe 2-3 rollers in there for good measure.
It's been done before with an LS engine and the results were pretty interesting.
