To the OP, good question! Critiquing builds of others is what helps us to learn more about future builds of our own. I agree with TPI421's opinion. The CR is low and it is hurting both HP and torque. Another option for that combo would be about 10 or 12 lbs of boost and it could probably still run on low octane gas. Definitely agree that with that big of cam it is bleeding off too much of the already low CR, and they are leaving alot on the table.
i noted in my post that it the low compression effected the power it made and if you look at the end of the article they put a supercharger on it.
