360 Advice Needed - Autocross / Street Engine Build

Some pretty awesome comments in the 2 posts above, IMHO.

The thing about a wide and strong torque curve is so true in what the OP is doing. In rally, a 2500-6500 engine was better than a larger 3800-7600 RPM engine. The wider usable torque is everything, and even more torque on a dry paved surface. The CR helps in the torque department all over, as long as it stays away from detonation.
