Getting the most out of a low comp 440

Well if you follow IQ with his results you cant go wrong,I tend to overthink some builds in the past and got way tripped up, about the cams you mentioned and the dyno time I really think it's whatever you want to do but the puddings already been made and it's proven pretty good and if you havent ever done any wrenching and busted knuckle's on a MOPAR or changed a cam,carbs, or intake,ripped off a few sets of heads and had your hair soaked in rear end oil then you havent lived yet,and the only way your going to know is ..do it..need to invest in lots of hand tools,hand cleaner,silicone,gaskets,oil,floordry[kitty litter] and lots of parts to mix and match and some phone numbers to call when sh$t aint working right and you cant seem to figure out why, and you're about ready to drink antifreeze to ease the pain at 3am, and its starting to rain and you got crap scattered everywhere...yes those were the days... not..I had to learn almost everything the hard way...nowadays I tend to just watch and learn before I do a damn thing, i think about it and get refreshed on what I forgot put myself a plan together that I know is going to get the desired results,compile all the necessary ingredients and get mentally prepped and maybe get it done 6mths later,maybe...I dont move so fast anymore am not able to do much at a time so I have to make it count...point is figure out what you want to do with what youre gonna do it with and go with something proven to work and make it happen,then do your changes or improvements or tweaking to your own liking after you got a good solid base to build off of...not meaning to sound like father time here but if you start experimenting on unknown or unfamiliar builds you can get in trouble real quik and spend alot of time and money you dont have to...since you stated you never done it before, it's worth listening to all the old gearheads who can help you abunch if you let them..you are me 40yrs ago..so good luck with your build keep us posted...
