Time tested profile. It will require good exhaust, spring upgrade,and I would do push rods and rockers. A good intake wouldn’t hurt either. 500@5200 or so. I don’t think that’s radical. Any less and the OP won’t notice much difference.

Comp Cams has changed their grind number system I believe. When I was looking for this cam for myself I also came up with the solid roller cam.
This is the cam PH1972 was referring to.
This is a GEN 6 cam but they also make it in Mark IV also.

Hardin/CP Performance also make the almost exact grind for the 454/502/540

I dug out the cam card. Some JEGGS customer’s going to be surprised when this is what shows up for his drag car. Ha
