Yeah, that one always baffles me. If someone doesn’t want max power just open a catalog, pick a cam two sizes smaller than what you think you should have and run it.
Yet no one does it and in every one of these threads the guy always wants more power, but they usually don’t want to do the work to get drivability in shape.
The thing is, as you well know, there's a LOT more to just the camshaft for maximum power. I don't care how you build one, power is always left on the table. It makes no sense to me why people pull their hair out trying to choose one.
