If you have a choice to make between two parts, choose the milder of the two. You'll be happier with a tamer engine than you will a radical one.
what he said! big cams = big stall, harder on valve train/drivetrain. more compression = less life and more heat to get rid of, especially in a 400. i`ve never been a fan of those and have seemed to have a hard time keeping one cool unless it`s a mild build, but i`ve got buddies that swear by them??? the main thing is what are you using it for?
