| − | If the intake closing (IC) point isn't known, it can be calculated by dividing the intake duration by 2, add that to the lobe separation angle (LSA). Then subtract any ground-in advance. Finally, subtract 180. This result does not need to have any amount added, like the KB calculator calls for.

| − | It's worth mentioning that 8.5:1 DCR is considered to be the maximum for iron heads and 92 octane fuel (MON + RON divided by 2).

| − | The following are different static compression ratios (SCR) with a 3.48" stroke and different camshaft intake closing points @ 0.050" tappet lift on Keith Black's dynamic compression ratio calculator. The calculator, starting at 8.25:1 SCR. The dynamic compression ratio (DCR) has been kept at just over 8.0:1, a figure that is acceptable for use with today's pump gas with a little cushion:

| − | Now, it's unclear where these Keith Black DCR calculator dynamic compression ratio readings are taken; at cranking rpm or at max efficiency rpm. According to the DynoSim software, maximum cylinder pressure is made at or near the torque peak. So, the fact that a motor is not detonating at low rpm does not mean that it will not detonate at, or close to, the torque peak.

| − | These numbers may not mean anything at all, but they do illustrate that you cannot just pick a cam out of thin air like a lot of fellows do and expect it to work best for your particular combination.
