So true Shane; cam is a biggie here when considering how much
CR you can run. Some folks like roller cams ( my personal perference)
and others like conventional cams. Some people like single profile and
others like dual patern cams. The other factor in cam selection is how
you inst. it ( you can advance or retard it ). Perhaps the people on
the list with aussie heads can share with us their cam spec's. and tell
of the results they have had with their combo.
