Thats where you drive..

I appreciate the insights. I figured I might be overthinking things.

Is is the higher RPM that you like about the shorter stroke? Most of my driving will be normal cruising around town. My complaint about the last build was that it didn't wake up until 3k. I found myself downshifting a lot to get it in the power band. The cams I used were likely the main culprit (first a Crower 916, then a Lunati 702).

I put a call into a few shops today including one up in Sonoma that built a RAII a couple years ago.
