Jsup, I don't care what they were talking about..... I "as in me" was talking about HP (Horsepower).....I said that in my first post in this thread.

I think the set-up is low for a cam that has 242/248 and about .600 lift..... there are 383's with less cam making more HP.... I am interested in peoples opinion on how much they think that low compression effected that motor.

people get fixated on peak numbers. They make for great bragging rights and people can relate easily to it. I also blame the automakers for making it such a selling point.

However, give me a motor with a nice flat torque curve, and I will be a happy camper. 500 ftlbs from 2000 rpms? Oh, yea, baby.

It's all about drivablity. Give me power from 0-6k. I don't care about a 8000 RPM redline... the motor is dead to me until 3k RPM. For the street, that's pointless.
