The 139671 is the 525EFI cam. It will have slightly better manners around the dock.

I don't think you'll see any big differences between any of the ones you posted. I'd prob go with the 525EFI cam.

741 cam (525efi) is plenty of cam for 454. That cam is not hard on the valvetrain, and if you have ever heard a 525efi (without mufflers) they definitely get your attention.

My cam is similar to 525efi cam. Its a crower 236/245 , .629/.632, 114lsa . 468ci. Ive ran it with 177 blowers, 250, and 420 blowers. Sounds good , and idles well. With dart 308s and cam installed at 110icl, peak hp was at 6000-6200. With eq heads that flowed better, and 114icl installation (4* retarded), it pulled to 6500rpm. Blowers will typically raise the operating range of a cam, esp a decent sized one.

i defintely would not go smaller if you want to make some steam down the road.
