Motor is a 1955 using the WBX 76.4mm crank and 90.5 P&Cs with stock rods and rockers. It will run Bosch CIS fuel injection with a center mount 45mm throttle body. Going in a '66 Westi with taller gears for happy interstate travel. I would like the power curve to be fat and torquey between 2500-5000RPM, maybe peak torque at about 3000 and peak HP 4800-5000. I plan to shift normally between 3500-3800 which drops the RPMs down about a grand per gear. Exhaust will be factory heat exchangers with a header and fat boy/custom single muffler thing. Aiming for 7.5-8:1 CR.
I am thinking home polished CB Performance 044s (PN: 1446) with no porting...? I could also redo some regular stock DP heads very easily..? The trouble is I cannot figure out the flow needed for torque with the small 45mm throttle body... 044s might be overkill, a nice set of stock heads that are cleaned up may be better?
What WebCam would be good for this application? CIS can support a fairly lumpy cam so no worries there. But I am thinking for the necessary power curve I land somewhere between a standard Engle 100 and 110. I want the power to die hard after 5250RPM because it is not needed. Any resources on cam power curves in a head to head comparison? (I wish the VW rags would do this kind of thing) If I remember right the Engle 110 dies after 5500RPM which is too high.
Sorry I have to compare Engle and ask for WebCam, but the WebCam part numbers are Greek to me

Any guidance is greatly appreciated! Head flow and cams specs are just an area where I lack applicable knowledge big time
