About the big cam in a lo-Compression engine
For a streeter this is a bad idea cuz, the low speed operation gets to be soggy on account of the low DCR. The soggy part is usually from idle to somewhere near peak torque,which on a streeter could be somewhere between 3400 and 4400. On a streeter you would be in the soggy part almost all the time..

In the qtr this is almost no concern cuz you only go through that soggy part one time. And usually pretty fast on account of the performance gears and the higher stall.
Sure the engine won't make quite as much power on the lower compression, but you don't lose as much as one might imagine.
