Buy the best heads and run a small camshaft - tick

I have said this to a lot of people over the years and now Engine masters did a test.

It is nice to see your view backup with independent evidence.

I will someday think of something clever to say.

ahhhhh a new episode - shweeeeeeeeet

Makes sense. If your heads don't flow, a big old camshaft isn't going to make much difference.
Will watch when I get back from lunch :mrgreen:

I've only autotuned mine to 5-5.5K so far out of fear of breaking something I built myself :-) It will be interesting to see the powerband on a real dyno compared to the theoretical desktop version since my cam is in the middle of those two.

Luke - have faith in your engine. Dart block super strong let it rev. 6500 should be fine for that engine.

If it revs to 5k without falling apart, it'll be fine.
