That plan would work great for a customer who wanted a square engine. (torque and power same peak values) A square engine typically has pretty good street manners, especially when coupled with the right converter but this customer wanted a smooth engine and didn't want to put a high stall converter in the car so we went with a smaller cam.

Making power isn't a problem with these Trick Flow heads, finding the right balance between power and street manners is more difficult. I've been wrestling with cam duration vs. manners for awhile now. Manual transmission cars are the worst, automatics have a much wider tuning window as long as the customer is willing to play with the converter. In my experience, almost every customer asks for more power than they are actually willing to live with!
