400 Buildup

What do you guys think about a 406 with a miniram? What type of head and cam combo would be suited for this i.e. lift...
Also looking at charging down the road or some kind of power adder... so 9.5:1 is plenty (i think) Can anyone supply a list of parts which would be good for this buildup
crank etc etc..... Im looking into a buildup and i dont know much still trying to learn. The 400 looks promising.
Sould i buy a new 400 or a used one... and yes ofcourse sbc.,
