Low compression "build" and cruise rpm?

Who would? The OP didn't say he was rebuilding the long block, I assume he is working with a used low compression 440, any cam that can maintain or build cylinder pressure and perform is a win, win.
The whiplash does both, plus it sounds good rolling up to the stop light.
I don't think you want to run into an a-body with a 440 at that stop light with a slightly warmed over low compression 360. lol


People do it every day. That’s why they sell gajillions of whiplash style cams.

I smoked enough big blocks back in the day I never worry about them.

Plus, I wouldn’t use a 360 for anything but a boat.
