Thank you very much for your interest to my project.
maybe it would help us if I clarify a bit more my intention.
In my mind this engine is more for the track than for the street (track is just 4-5 miles from home). the engine is expected to support 9,000 rpm and I,m planning to use 8000-8500 top. The reason why (maybe by misknowledge)
I think that it would be easier to lauch the the car with 10" wide slicks if I don't push too much torque. Once the car is out of the box I was expecting good radical hp curve to do the job. For the stall 4500, I know it is a bit high for street but I hope that my trans oil cooler will help me cruise to the track.
The cam specs choice was the most uncertain thing in this set-up, It has been suggested to me by a race engine builder that have a fairly good reputation at the track. (by the way it is 1/8 mile track). I wanted to try it, and if it doesn't fit , it won't cost a lot to change.
