As I've quite recently joined the Olds camp from the world of Chevy, I sometimes assume that if a cam fits in a small block that automatically means it WON'T fit in a big block. Oops. I've gotta get used to the fact that Chevy rules don't always apply to Olds. . .
And yes, the knowledge tossed about on ROP is sometimes WAY over my head. I honestly don't understand things like why or how lobe overlap is a good (or bad) thing, the difference between hyd./mechanical/solid/roller cams, etc. . . or why you need a certain gear ratio/compression ratio for a certain cam, etc. Lots still to learn!
