"Compression ratio would be most important thing for cam selection"

Important consideration, but most important ?

Often a 'catalog' suggestion is general and can be vague.

"The charts are often nowhere near scientific or definitive in its scope. Larger or smaller cubic inches, different lobe separation angles and other variables will alter these figures, but at least it's a starting point in the explanation of using a certain range of cam with a certain range of static compression ratio."

Good read and indicates the importance if interested:
