John,old inline GM tuning books from Fisher and company mention it's best to degree in a hi performance cam,that was 50 years ago when .450 lift was considered full race.
Why not check all the variables on an engine one is building for a personal project?It's kinda interesting and the tools to do it are inexpensive.
Now, ya wouldn't intall new tires on your ride without checking the air pressure,right?lol.
