You decide.
Thanks for posting the cam specifications, but I still have the same problem. I really don't know how to put cam card information in practical language. I don't know how good or bad these numbers are or will they give me what I'm looking for. I'm hoping someone with more cam knowledge would put this in a form I can understand.

I guess what I'm really looking for is someone to tell me what to look for in putting together a strong torque engine. What range of numbers should I be looking at for the cam and compression ratio? Thanks for all the help, I need all I can get...
