318 build suggestions?
Just took issue that a 318 gonna need 21° more cam, like I pointed out a 400 hp 318 needs about 230° cam so if a 400 hp 360 needs 21° less cam would make it a 209° cam and I don't see to many of those.
Example.
Blue is a stock 2bbl 360, all the bolt on mods gain from at least 2500 rpms if not lower and within the mods each change increased power from 3200 rpms and higher. Even though the mods moved peak hp higher it also helped basically across the whole powerband especially where your engine gonna be most of the time during a full throttle run. Even though your not spending too much time at peak hp increasing peak hp and rpm was basically a net gain everywhere.
I agreed with most of what you basically said if I remember right.

Besides the cam degrees, yes a 318 generally needs more rpm to make similar power.
An engine generally doesn't just gain hp at peak hp only, a lot of the time cam heads headers intake carb etc.. Will gain from 2500-4000 rpms and up.
