Default Gears

I'm planning on 3:77 gears... My question is this now that I"m totally confused. Why is the Comp guy telling me that the cam I listed came on at 1800 . Now which is it 1800 or 3000 ? Theres too many friggen choices and even posting this same question here and on the 385 forum I can never get a consensus.. For some reason my engine guy down south ( Built my 428) says 11-1
all day in a 460 no problem. Then I get guys posting over at the 385 page running even higher CR .. I'm totally confused. I just don't wanna get talked into something by the builder up here
(Does alot of chevy's too.) Because he's used it before and it's his generic pick.
I'm paying for this and not him or my friends. He tried to talk me into KB hyper whatever pistons and my old ford guy says they are junk. My old guy wants forged flat tops. THe guy up here says Oh when you get done it should dyno at around 400 HP. Well the friggen thing stock was rated in 1970 at 365. So I"m spending $4000 in parts to gain 35 HP ??? I f I simply wanted a rehashed 460 I would just buy a rebuild kit and do it myself. What numbers does someone need to run this on desk top dyno ???
