Terry,
In your experience, is it better to try and match a camshaft to capacity in
addition to induction type and compression? For arguments sake, consider it
matched with DCOE's and a big port (ie 37+mm) head on a L16: what power
band would a 72 give? How would this change if you used a larger capacity
bottom end?
Cheers,
- Tom
