That isn't enough camshaft to make power to 5000rpm's in a 455 build, not going to matter where you put ICL.
We have to keep in mind here that the 455 is a HUGE engine, and it will see a 214/224 as a very small camshaft, which means smooth idle, strong low end power, and power ending early in the rpm range. Even in a 400 build with low compression, the 2801 acts like a small cam, but it is much better choice there than in the bigger 455's since it doesn't make nearly the dynamic compression as early in the rpm range in the 400's. Some folks choose it in lieu of the factory 068 camshaft for 400 builds, and it fairs pretty well in those applications.......Cliff
