I have built several 496's and I have two in the works now for my new boat.
Just my advise, 110 center line you might have problems with reversion. I run 9.5 compression with aluminum heads, if you are running iron you better have good gas. I run 91 and have not had a problem.
I would still advise using RMBUILDER I buy all my cams and lifters from him. WELL worth the $$$$
Good luck

Ok so I got a 454 stroked to 496, Eagle parts 9.5 alm. dart pro 1s 310 cc elderbrock air gap 750 demon. What is the best HP and TRQ being built using these parts ? What is max safe RPM? What cam are they using? What exhaust? What fuel pump?

I just went through all this if you are curious search Tech Q&A forum for "Roller Cam upgrade". I used RMbuilder for my cam and valvetrain and highly recomend him. The best service I have found. Not the cheapest but worth the money.
