decent sized cam, low compression = bad.

low compression and a very mild cam won't make any power, but they're at least kind of matched.

but i'm guessing your cam was at least moderately big. i'm a huge believer in matching parts. lots of duration (even moderate duration) NEEDS compression. Not 12:1, but at least 9:1.

Running 7.2:1 with a medium-hot cam, the thing is not going to idle, it will make NO bottom end torque, etc...

Seems like there is a better way to go at this goal!
