RE: We're a bunch of hacks.

I don't agree with that. Ever call the Cam companies tech lines? Most of the time, at least with the big companies, you get really poor advice. I think allot of the people here could do better. Try calling the AT&T of cams (Compcams) and you'll see what I mean. I have a Compcams cam by the way so I do like them. But their tech line sucks.

Smaller cam companies tend to be better for cam recommendations. You might get an acutal machinist, engine builder, or cam grinder on the phone when you call. Call Bullet Cams or Reed Cams or somebody similar and you'll get much better advice.

You're right though, in that more info is needed whether it be here or for the cam company.

What is the car going to be used for? Daily driver? street/strip? race? What parts will be in the motor? heads? intake? carb? compression ratio? headers? what kind of exhaust system? How about the gear ratio? tranny? stall speed if an auto? Are there power accessories requiring good engine vacuum at idle (power brakes)? How much rpm is the engine intended and built to run at?
Does it have forged pistons? roller rockers? etc.?

The more data you give us = a better recommendation
