Ok guys I need help fiding a good hyd roller cam for my 454. Spec are below

454 std bore
2465 Trw Pistons 27.5 domes
Forged steel crank
Req Port Heads 118cc Chambers
Full roller rockers
Retrofit Hyd Rollers
Crower Cams Rev Kit
Performer Rpm Airgap Manifold
Demon 850DP
Headers are 2' primarys to 3.5 collectors through 3" exhaust with X-Pipe and Turbos Dumped before axel.

Not for sure on my compression I think its around 10.1, This is in a 1967 chevelle with Built Up Th350 I will get a new converter to match camshaft and a 12 bolt with 3:73 Gears. I use this car for the Track and Street so it doesnt matter how rough the idle is just as long as it sounds good... Also what valve springs will I need...

A hyrdo roller with rectangular ports and 2" primaries?

I would personally be looking at a Solid F/T.

I dont want any flat tappet camshafts again. Lost to many cams to flat lobes in big blocks so i am sticking with roller. I dont want to go with solid roller becasue this will be driven on the street and i do have a rev kit and all the light weight valve train parts just need to find what hyd roller would work the best.

I chose the XE294HR for my BBC, which is just 42 cubes bigger than yours - sounds awesome and makes good power. I'm still breaking in the engine, so I don't have any track times or dyno numbers to back up my 'butt-meter' readings.
