My 459 FE was built for street manners and uses a flat tappet hydraulic cam of 231/236 @.050 with a lift of around .600 (can't recall exactly). It maxed out on power around 5400 - 5500 rpm and has a broad torque curve. It has a pretty good rumpity- rump idle as you can hear in the video in my signature block - but it still drives nice and easy.

Along with Blykins info that might give you some idea of what you need in cam spec depending on where you want max power at.
