I'm just trying giving the OP a counter to AJ, I do believe AJ gives valuable info, but seems super focus on VP which I do believe is important but I find something missing from it, most have put a cam in a low cr engine with factory stall and highway gears at some point and probably found it overall better, 318willrun has basically centered his builds/channel around doing that.
Here's a dyno of a low cr 360 and xe250h and xe268h both pick up low rpm tq over stock and there's ton more examples out there.
I just feel something is being left out of his equation.
Pointing out the possible down sides is fine but saying it basically can't work when there's obvious examples of it working is too much.
