O.K., Dave.
this thing about "...or you have done
nothing with the cam timing to take advantage of the compression":
I guess you are grinding your "systems approach" axe, again. I like system
design, as well-- but it looks to me like the camshaft is the hardest thing
to work-into an overall concept that you hope to build right "from scratch".
I don't see how you can just throw a few parameters into your CAD program
(or whatever) and come out with the best cam design. Doesn't it take weeks
of experimentation on a flowbench? I think that's why most hot-rod
"full-racers" just order a "full-race cam" from their favorite supplier, and
just "make-do".
Please tell me how you would systematically optimize the cam for a LSR
engine (whether it involves flowing the head, or whatever). Lord, I'd love
to know how to optimize cam parameters in a straightforward, systematic way!

You could always have the starter rewound... and then use an external
battery
cart for the starter only.. In all honesty if the adding 2 points of
compression
makes the starter not work it was not too good to begin with or you have
done
nothing with the cam timing to take advantage of the compression.
