Great site. I have referenced it many times. Some of the info is dated and there is no mention on any of the combos concerning gearing. That seem to be one of the most common mistakes. Guys build for maximum power not realizing that the operating range of the cam they need to make that power requires high RPM, low gears and close ratios to stay in the engines sweet spot.
