Building a slant for torque

And see......this is where I question the program. The next engine has more compression, less camshaft and WAY MORE cylinder head AND good quench.....so I still think something's missing from the equation. It's still a ton of fun putting it all in to see what comes out and I appreciate your time on it more than you know. I wish we were local to each other. We'd get into all sorts of mischief.

So you are thinking that by upping the compression because you are using a longer duration cam has about a 1:1 nulling effect. The amount of loss of low RPM torque can be countered by upping the compression? That I have not seen especially once the compression get to a level I seem to recall it starts to flattens out around 10:1 and you need more to make the same extra power than when you are jumping from say 7.5:1 to 8.5:1.... but I have slept many times since then.
