    Almost. Cams cannot affect static c/r, but it can affect dynamic c/r with valve overlap. I don't think GSR and ITR cams have a different LSA.

    +1 for you.

    I was just about to say that. SOme people shouldnt try an act like they know when they really dont.

    Dynamic compression is an important part of any motor. Volumetric Efficiency , learn it, look it up.

    but on a boosted motor, may not need to be known as much. GSR cams, SLeeved block, pistons, rods, 35R, walbro, JG Edelbrock, full race manny, 1000cc inj, bam 600whp.

    Boostfed made like 45whp switching to ITR cams, but he was at 650whp.

    low boost i dojnt think it matters. up to 450-500whp i would just run GSR

    Yeah, I learned that after putting a COMP Cam with a 110 LSA in my 9.0:1 c/r small-block. It went completely flat until 4 grand and was only pulling 8 inches of vacuum. Power brakes? HA!
