Hi Jack, et al.,

Thought I would chime in, philosophically.

Just please remember that any engine design is a tradeoff between power,
reliability, and cleanliness. Add to that known adage, 'drivability'. Old
engines have fixed cam timing. That means the valve timing is set to the
give optimum drivability - so maximum top end performance is not achieved.
But if you tune for 5000rpm, the car is beast to drive at lower speeds.

Okay, I've said what everyone else has said, perhaps except for this: What
is YOUR goal? Decide upon that then build accordingly, and accept the
limitations associated with that solution.

Rick
