I posted something like this on your other thread:
I was talking about camshaft grinds. You do know that there are spreadsheets and programs that take in consideration of the other parameters, right? It's real easy to buy a certain CR when you get your P and C's. And you can put all kinds of induction on it. You can run an infinite number of ignition curves. But the one thing you can't change (other than CR) is the cam profile. That's what makes it all happen. And the cam can be designed not only for how the rest of the motor is set up, but for how you want to drive. Fast car on the street? Don't need a high rev long overlap duration. You need something that the tranny likes in all the gears but 5th. You aren't going to hit the rev limiter in 5th. Ever. The jump in RPM drop is pretty significant it your trans hasn't been re-geared to short ratios between the meat gears. That cam needs to build some torque.
