 There are many misconceptions when building for performance. Here are two notable ones:
-First: Bigger is not always better/faster (except when you're talking about cubic inches). For example, is a 750CFM carburetor better than a 600CFM carburetor? No, not always. In fact, a carburetor that is too large can hurt low-end driveability/fuel mileage. The same is true with intake manifolds, heads, and camshafts. The most common mistake of newbie hotrodders is to overcam and overcarb their cars. See: [[Choosing a carburetor]].

-Second: the motor is often times NOT the best place to start for performance, dollar for dollar. In fact, in many cases the best philosophy is to work from the back of the car forward!
