Getting the most out of a low comp 440

Hey, I preciate the input, and don't get me wrong, I'm not saying I don't think anyone here knows what they're doing...exactly the opposite, that's why I'm here, it's just that I think camshaft choice has a lot to do with how the car feels, where and how it pulls...and I have no point of reference. I now really wish I had just run the 440 as it was so I had a starting point. One can only learn so much from reading and schooling...at some point, you gotta get your hands dirty. I've built 4x4s as a hobby for 15 years and worked in and run the family machine and welding shop the same amount of time...won't be my first time turning wrenches for sure, just the first time in an engine's guts.
