[Fot] Six cylinder cams

[Jason Ostrowski]

All is very true.
My latest race motor is simply magnificent.
But, It would be a terrible street motor.
At 12.75 CR; with a special secret blend of the best cams from England,
California, Wisconsin, Oklahoma and Chicago.
The car operates almost exclusively in a power band above 5500 rpm and
welcomes and dares you to go beyond 7500 prior to every shift.
That wouldn't do much good for grocery getting.
