The Right Curve, stop dinkin' with what I write. If you want to write your own rebuttal, do it on your own wiki article. This info was taken from Crane Cams and is valid information for fellows who know nothing at all about choosing a cam, and that includes most of the fellows who come on this forum asking questions.

Sometimes it's difficult trying to explain to fellows who are new to hot rodding that you have to match the characteristics of the camshaft to the static compression ratio of the motor along with the operating range where the cam makes power. The camshaft is not a stand-alone piece. It must be coordinated with other motor and drivetrain parts in order to arrive at a combination of parts that will all work together toward a common goal.
