If his goal is to have really good off-idle throttle response (with an occasional wheel spin), and never rev past 4500, are all these "bigger cam" recommendations still valid?

I've only put a few engines together but I'll bet the response you will get here is to run the 068 in a low comp 455. Search the threads, I had one started last fall/winter about a low buck 455 build.
