I am my engine builder.... I am still in the stages of compiling all the necessary information to make the decision on cam selection and far off finalising anything. This will be my first build (have to start somewhere). Background: Mechanical Engineer. So if you have any info you would can share it would be much appreciated. The more technical the better :P.

It seems oil pressure is an issue above 8200 RPM. I will be monitoring oil pressure and raising the limit to somewhere between 7800 - 8000 RPM. Hopefully the rods hold up.
