Engine Building Part 3 - Power Principles, Heads, Cam, and Intake

Choosing the right Induction componentsIn this month's Power Principles installment, we conclude our series on engine building basics. In the Feb. '12 issue of MM&F, we stressed the importance of developing a clear, underlying goal as far as your engine needs are concerned. The second issue dealt with block basics and starting with the correct foundation for whatever engine project you have planned. In this issue, we will talk about what is probably the most important aspects of an engine build: the top end. The "top end" usually refers to everything above the short block, i.e. the heads, cam, and intake--basically everything that's needed to make horsepower. Our goal here is to offer some information to help you make better, more informed choices when it comes to picking the top end components. Let's get down to business.
