Choosing the right cam

It depends from person to person. I like to look at everything. Some people don't take certain aspects into consideration, such as overlap for example. A fairly recent thread argues the point. I think it's an important factor, just like all the rest of the info.

Different people do it different ways, so good luck getting a solid answer.

Thanks bud! Info like that that is what I'm looking for. I want to know how to factor/figure the aspects required. I don't want to HAVE TO post up an engine build to find out which cam to get. I want to be able to determine the proper cam myself. I hope I'm articulating this correctly. :(
