Call your favorite cam grinder and tell him what you've got. Get a cam that 
produces peak torque in your 500 inch motor at 2800 RPM, same range as the 
long rams work in. There is more to picking a cam than just the duration, 
like lobe centerlines and lift and the effect of the extra displacement. The 
extra inched will tend to lower the torque range below the 413's range. You 
may be surprised at what the grinder may recommend. Factory cams were 
conservative beyond belief compared to todays technology.
