From the Crower 2004 catalog:
COMPU-PRO / PERFORMANCE LEVEL 5 - Upper mid-range and top
end profile for added power above 7000 rpm.
RPM Power Range: 5200 to 8000 plus.

I know RPM range certainly varies with cubic inches, compression and head flow potential etc. With that said, and in my case, a .030 455 with a 300cfm potential head 11.40:1 compression, 4400 converter in a 3200lb car, would this cam make sense?

How about using Rhoads V-Max lifters?

Would it make more sense in a 12:1+ compression 428 due to better RPM capabilities along with more compression?

JMO, but they will not make the cam smaller than running solid lifters. The one thing you could check with the cam in an engine using a degree wheel and a dial indicator is how much the valve seat duration is reduced if opening the valve lash up by 0.004"
