Not everyone wants to go all out on their internals builds though and not everyone wants to go through the hassle of measure this for pushrods, remove old valve springs, install new ones, run these lifters, degree this cam, and then you're going to need to replace this stuff sooner rather than later even if it's set up correctly because it is harder on the valve train, valve springs lifters etc. not to mention power levels past the mid 800's start requiring driveshaft changes, and even transmission internal upgrades (which just based on our interactions I'm pretty sure he's not looking to get into). He's looking for a solution that is easier to deal with that runs mostly stock stuff and if his upper limit is 850 RWHP with a Procharged set up, I'd say that's pretty darn solid.

If LT4 cam makes 850 full effort using meth without E85 I wonder what it would make full effort with E85 and no meth if it was produced with a 32% lobe.

LT1 with lobe will definitely make 850 full effort with E85. I gotta wonder what it would make with meth on gasoline. That is an experiment someone else would have to take on though because it's not one I'm willing to do myself.

That's not my argument at all, I'm not talking about using cams that even need a valve spring upgrade. I'm talking about having a cam custom ground for use with stock valve train for max reliability as that's what he's looking for.
