Use a SFT and nitrate it.... It will help get you over the Zinc hurdle during break in.... Since this is a street bruiser and you have a goal I would go minimum mid 9's on Static compression. The Solid cam will put you in adjustable rockers so keep an eye out for a clean set of used from this site....

904 is a good option as is putting a few bucks towards a decent converter. That's what can turn it into a tyre fryer and of course if you want to up the ante gap the rings during assembly for a good 100 shot of gas...

I would talk to several people before I did a nitride treatment of the cam. IIRC it makes the surface hard but there are some fracture issues under the hard layer.

If you are going to do some bearing on it you can cryogenically treat the cam and lifters. Or go to a steel cam and use the appropriate lifters.

It’s actually cheaper to do a roller cam when you get there. And it’s infinitely more durable.
