Not Ranked
Thats a good point FUNFER2, talk to the guys the have vastly more experience with these things than most of us do (and then when you get the specs buy it somewhere else). 
It's worth it to spend a little more to gain those valuable insights learned from their years of experience. I'm leaning toward a split profile cam design this time, offering a little more help on the exhaust side? But as we have not yet determined final rear gear ratio or trans gear ratios it's to early to determine cam specs. Compression ratio should be okay at around 10 to 1 with alloy heads and 92 octane gas? Thats about as high as you get around here.
Paint the engine blue, rather than black. I think the blue shows better and it's easier to spot oil leaks. Maybe one of those new Kirkham billet overflow units on the top, or for more flash, maybe just go with chrome? Flash and bling are what this particular build is going to be all about (good or bad, it is what it is).
