Hydraulic roller? Solid roller? Flat tappet?

If you want to try to hit the "have your cake and eat it too" crowd, aim for a hydraulic roller, a 6000 hp peak, and keep some manners down low.

You won't find many off the shelf hydraulic roller cams that work well in an FE. A lot of the cam companies haven't figured out that the more aggressive lobes just don't work with an FE.

My street 445's get a custom hydraulic roller, usually around 236-240 @ .050", depending on what heads you use, and around .630-.640 lift.
