Should the cam be timed different than stock for best mileage with the 455? We have a 3.70 final drive so torque doesn't seem to be lacking. Engine has 120K plus miles so timing chain is past due. What is recommended?

Thanks guys. Since straight up was the consensus, that is what we went with. Cloys double roller, new water pump and hopefully ready to go tomorrow. Old chain was really loose, at least an inch play in and out at the midpoint.
Still screwing with torsion bar sag on the Buskirk stretch so old faithful is going to Shawnee, hopefully leaving around noon tomorrow.
