That is a tiny cam for a big in. 405. We have a more than a few members with 400+cu" engines, I'm sure they'll chime in shortly.

This is the cam I run on a 5.3L it is too small for your application. BTW 10.5:1 CR is do-able for FI but most like it down around 9-9.5:1
Cam Number Duration @ .050 Valve Lift Rocker Arm Centerline
LS1-GT2-3 207 / 220 .571" / .578" 1.7 ratio 118.5

I doub't even a fully built 4l60e is ever going to hold up to a built 400+cu" engine. You aren't going to get too far with it. You really need to look at the big picture and decide on what direction you want to take it or you will end up throwing $ out the window.
