Building a motor around a cam selection is not a good idea. Unless you want a dyno queen and then a dog in your car…

Question about what you said about not building your engine around the cam your thinking about using. Doesn't the intake valve closing point determine the final pressure the cylinder has? Say he's compression ratio is 8.25:1 and the cams intake closing is 65* wouldn't reduce pressure in the cylinder? I'm not completely saying it's a good idea to build your engine around the cam your looking at but I think that it's something that needs to be taken into consideration.
