Thanks for the low down on head choices. I do doubt that many of us will build a mule engine to determine the best head/cam/rod ratio for a specific application. I think many of us might rely on software from Engine Analyser or Dyno Sym or from some other program. From everything I've been able to gather, rod ratio makes only a small difference in expected peak power or torque for most street driven engines.

Don't get me wrong here. I appreciate your expert input on these questions. It makes all of us think about how the ICE works.
