Just remember, unless you're racing on the track, less is more when it comes to the long term enjoyment of any stroked FE. Now, by all means, you want your FE to have a nice lopey cam, with good overlap, you want it to rev reasonably high, because that's fun, and you don't want it to tear itself apart. If you're not racing, then you'll spend >98% of your time with the secondaries closed, you'll hit WOT less than 30 seconds total in any given year, and you'll spend most of your tweaking time on your idle circuit and your transition circuit -- because that's where you'll live most of the time.
