I agree with the above statements... "build with the cam that will work the best, perform the best". But that's me......
However, is it really wrong if somebody wants to build for a sound, and couldn't care less about performance??? What if they only like the mean sound, but have no interest in ever opening it up???
- Is it wrong if somebody mounts a dual snorkel hood scoop that's not functional but only for looks?
- Is it wrong to put wide tires with traction bars on a stock slant six car though it's not needed, but does it for looks??
I say we all have different desires and interest for our cars.

Nothing wrong with doing any of those things--IF and its a BIG IF--They TRULY are happy with the result.

I've done things in the past for customers that assured me up down and sideways they would be happy, and guess what? They weren't! But they wouldn't admit to their friends and family that it was THEIR call would they? Of course they would! -NOT They would never bad mouth the builder who was the last guy to touch it would they? You betcha. Now on the flip side of this coin I have had customers who were very happy with their mean sounding , NO power, NO efficiency engine but they are few. Of course there are exceptions to every rule but this is the toughest part of this whole deal. J.Rob
