W2 heads on a 318

I think you just said I picked the wrong camshaft and I'd agree. When I put the engine together there wasn't Internet or a great site like this to help a young guy out. The cam did deliver a very aggressive sound. Isn't that what's really important, lol

It wasn't meant to be a critical statement, but used as a great example of using too much cam for displacement/cylinder head/RPM. I'm a big cam guy, but I'm also a correct cam guy. You just happened to post a great example of it.

And yes, I love an agreessive sound.

My ultimate point is you didn't lack bottom end power because the head was too big, but the cam timing was as good as it could have been. That's my point.
