LSA Question

Dan,
IVC is useless for calculating cyl pressure. I just do not know why people put so much 'faith' in it. The CP is going to be influenced by a host of OTHER factors that control cyl filling, such as port flow etc.
I'm thinking about either picking a cam off or the shelf or having a custom cam ground. IVC has to be of some importance as everything that I've read on it is the cylinder will either have to much or to little cp, and everything points to the ivc point. I'm not saying that your wrong. I'm saying that it might be getting way too complicated for what I'm looking for doing with the car. I'm not going racing, towing, etc. I just want a decent running fun to drive street car.
