Just that the bigger a motor is, the "bigger" the cam you can use and still be streetable. That should be the LAST thing you pick for a motor, not the first, because all the other motor parts will dictate what you should use. Picking the wrong cam is probably the most common mistake people make with a performance motor. Do that last
Yes, exactly. L, I was also thinking about you talking about the possibility of a Victor, and some of the bigger heads you all discussed. The thing is, I figured your hp peak would probably be below 6000 with your original parts choices, 5800-5900 as I remember. The Victor probably wont pass the RPM Air Gap in power production till fairly high in the rpm range. The Victor would keep pulling way higher than that cam we talked about. So, it's not that long after your Victor and big carb start to pull that your cam will run out of breath. The Victor will kinda torpedo the torque of the semi conservative stick, and then the cam will torpedo the big intakes ability to breathe up high. All about combination. So, just thinking if you go up a step or two on all the supporting airflow pieces you might consider going up a step or two on the cam too. Man, I better go introduce myself if I'm gonna be blabbing on here. L8R
