Just wanted to say a few things about this Cammer build. We made this engine as streetable as possible and ven lower compression than normal and the smallest camshaft we could get for it. Wanted the engine to idle very well and be a great street engine.
It would not be a big deal to go a little bigger, do more port work and larger camshaft and get this engine in the 850HP range on pump gas. But having an engine that has its main power band in the 5500 to 8000rpm range would not be real practical for a street driven car.
I would say that we actually detuned this engine to do what the customer wanted and what I think he will be the most satisfied with.

Thanks, Keith
