Budget 318 build

Yea i agree the return for dollar is my main objective with this thread and I have learned so much i am still really lost on the cam suggestions but i guess i will learn more about that later. But I have learned alot more than I knew before about compression and flow and how the combo comes together. The bang for the buck side is what really interested me like if I spend 8 hours of my time with no money spent to gain .4 of a sec then to me that is time spent. I'm not sure how how that adds up to hp but seems more beneficial than spending 200 on pistons to gain 3% ! To me that's bang for your buck! I started this thread with the intentions of just building an engine that would start and run but the more I read and the more I learn the more I wanna squeeze ever ounce I can out of it! Lol i guess that is what makes us motor heads! Ok so with cams here is what i know the first two numbers the duration is how long they valves stay open the 2nd 2 numbers is lift the first being intake and 2nd being exhaust is the lift how far they open love separation is how far the two are apart other than that everthing else is Spanish to me i do not understand how any of the numbers affect other stuff like stall and power curve etc! I chose the cam i have because on summit website it said works well with stock converter and highway gears (that's me) and has a power range from 1200-5000 and the numbers where very close to a stock 340 cam which is what i was going for! I almost bought the 6901 and I didn't cause it said it runs better with 9:1 or higher cr and I knew I have about 8.5:1 so i read somewhere that it's better on performance to undercam than to over cam so i went with the milder one casue I didn't want to kill my bottom end!
