Cam Selection

I don't want to hijack this thread but I have a quick question that somewhat coincides with what dstan is asking. I have nearly the same set up dstan has and I like the Comp Cam 21-227-4. I confirmed the selection with Comp Cam. That selection included the running of Edelbrock AL Rpm Heads. It was mentioned that going over .5 lift is a bit concerning. Is it for the RPM heads? I have never been able to assertain how much more lift the RPM Heads would allow me vs the stock heads. Also, I am told by the builder that the compression is 9.7 The comp cam spec says it is best on a 9.1 compression engine. Is this difference in compression that critical on the selection of the cam? If so, how much and in what Spec? Also, Comp Cam says the 21-227-4 gives extra lift for Upper RPM Power. What is I want mid-range power? Any suggestions? Again, I apologizes if you feel I hijacked dstan's thread.
I'm a bit -rusty on cams as I haven't been into a B engine for several years , the cam in my new1963 SS426 Wedge was .528 lift and lived well on the street and the races. it was my only car at the time. thinking the rocker arm geometry ,length and angle would set the limits on lift -perhaps why the racers have gone to longer valves?
I really don't have any intelligent information to help you, better to give no opinion than bad opinion eh?
as an FYI the cam in my 392 Hemi fueler is only .505 lift. ( no one is hijacking the thread- all things are relevant.)
